Methodists win at the Blog Awards
Two Methodist weblogs received awards at this year's Christian
Web and New Media Awards.
The Revd David Perry won the award for Best Christian Blog and The
President and Vice President's blog came runner up in the Most
Inspiring Leadership Blog category at a ceremony in London on
Friday.
David Perry's blog (www.davesdistrictblog.blogspot.com)
combines his stunning photography with spiritual reflections. "Like
the colourful flower, my images attract traffic to the blog which I
might not otherwise get," said David, who is Chair of the Lincoln
and Grimsby Methodist District. "What I hope is true is that all
leave with a little bit of incidental gospel pollen clinging to
them. Even one tiny grain of grace, love and hope gathered here by
chance in something seen or read might be a God-given gift to
someone who needs it."
The President and Vice President's blog (www.methodist-presandvp.blogspot.com),
documents the travels and experiences of the President and Vice
President of the Methodist Conference, as they spend a year
visiting Methodists around the UK and much further afield.
The Original Christian Web and New Media Awards were the first ever
exclusively Christian award ceremony for bloggers and web designers
in the UK. They were established in 2007 by Premier Christian Media
to recognise and reward Christian achievements on the internet. For
