your blog posts after audioconf 1

Thanks for the wonderful discussion Monday evening. I appreciated your comments very much.

For your own blog post this week, please introduce yourself, saying something about your own ministry situation.

For your blog post next week, here are two options. Pick one of them:
1. on page 82 of the coursebook, take the quiz "Test Your Assumptions," and read the next few pages that describe the authors' opinions about those assumptions. Pick one assumption to write about, and describe something you think is important for congregations to remember. You could also write about something you disagree with.
2. beginning on pages 93 and 111 of the coursebook are myths about congregational communication. Pick one of them to write about, describing how you've seen them in action, something you think is important for congregations to remember, or perhaps something you disagree with.

I'm sorry this blog post is late. I was having internet connection trouble last night. Normally, after each audioconference, I will post suggestions within 24 hours of the audioconference. Blessings to you all.

Assumption about communication.
Communication is funtional,

statement 4, The most important funtion communication serves is to achieve something.Often a Churches have more than one group who worship but in different time, negotiating between the group is not easy but through proper communication will gain good results, that is the central reason for communication says the author Moreale i his theory about communication, communication with thesegroups help make the right decisions, although they are small issues, for example the availability of the church hall or any part of the hall, communications functions by helping us explain and make wise decisions in main situations, communications serves a particular purpose in any interaction. getting things done also help to built relationships and remain a healthy supportive climate around God's people. To understand the functional nature of communications, ask ourselves the following questions.(1) What has the speaker to utter this message?
(2) what is this effect on this listeners. Morreale says, by understanding the purpose of the message an the effect it has on others , you can begin to determine what functions the message is serving, so statement 4 is true.
