This is You . . .On God Tube
God tube- . Yes, now there is a Christian version of You Tube.
It has all sorts of things from footage of Benedictines taking final vows to a quite funny take-off on the MAC/PC commercials that skewers the gap between traditional evangelicalism and emergent church approaches - and inadvertently shows how different the ethos and debate is in the Catholic world. (especially funny if you have some first hand experience of the evangelical world.)
The Catholic footage is long on sermons and religious congregations. There's footage of John Paul Ii's funeral, the God and the Girl tv series, a number of homilies, portraits of religious life, the ordination of a priest, etc. Some moving footage of Mother Teresa. The tone is sooo different from the evangelical stuff.
And then there are lots of debates between James White (a professional anti-Catholic) and well, everybody.
This is why I call myself a bi-cultural Christian. Watch this and you think:
Two peoples separated by a common devotion to Christ.

Sherry,
I tooled around God Tube this morning and there are a number of really cool things on there. I'm a litle ambivalent because it seems like an example of the tendency for modern American Christianity to "enclave" and pull away from anything that is non-Christian.
While some of the GodTube stff is on You Tube, it would be great if people would be able to encounter it while surfing You Tube--since I don't think many non-Christians will go to God Tube on purpose.
I put a couple of the Christian/Christ-follower commercials up on my blog, but Ihad to pull them from You Tube. In the first place, you can't just click on the God Tube player and be taken to the page that has the embedding code for that specific video. Secondly, their code doesn't work with my blog platform.
Grr..
But thanks for pointing the GT out...I did find some cool stuff on there!
