No doubt that the first church to ever use an overhead projector was very innovative. At the time it must have been a very novel idea. It allowed us to sing without hymnals and songbooks; it allowed the pastor to make draw illustrations and write down bullet-points, and… it allowed children to make strange shadow contortions. Okay, the latter wasn’t the main reason for you to invest in an OHP.
"The media screen is the stained glass window of the 21st century.
Electronic media are ‘the digital campfire’ of the 21st century."
Use of the Overhead projector is widespread in churches today. It’s a pretty safe bet that every church has at least one Overhead projector. The church is quickly also becoming the only place where OHP’s are still in use. All around us, in media, advertising, the corporate world and academia, video-projectors are replacing overhead projectors. Connected to a laptop a video-projector is a far more professional tool. It allows the presenter to make sharp presentations, and to incorporate clips of video, thus radically increasing the impact of the presentation.
