Moyers is intelligent and thoughtful. Furthermore, he assembled a studio full of thoughtful, intelligent people to discuss passages in Genesis. But the programs tended to be frustrating. What we got were sound bites, pieces of commentary by the individuals, little interaction, almost no development of ideas once the ideas were expressed. I thought, If Moyers can't pull off intelligent examination of material on TV, perhaps it just can't be done.
Video tends toward the superficial.
It does a good job of giving the illusion of experience, of drawing the viewer into the story. But that's about all. What ought to be participatory praise, people actively worshiping God, becomes a show watched by an audience. Furthermore, multimedia in church runs the risk of playing into the hands of our other experiences with media. When people see a video image, they are conditioned to know that they are being treated mostly as consumers.
