Theological and Biblical GeoInformatics - A Proposal
By Dr. Maged N. Kamel Boulos, Zeitun-eg.org (Related Paper)
Geographical
Information Systems (GIS) and related technologies like Global
Positioning Systems (GPS) are a rather new information management
vehicle. GIS go beyond conventional database and spreadsheet tables.
They help us discover and visualise new patterns and relationships.
They allow different information layers to be matched, interlinked,
queried and analysed together, thus producing new knowledge
(spatio-temporal analysis). In the setting of a church or parish, GIS
can help pastors and Church leaders manage their flocks. GIS can assist
in assessing people needs (spiritual, social, etc.) and determining
factors affecting them. With GIS, ministry progress can be tracked and
workloads can be divided efficiently and effectively among priests and
servants (into service areas tailored according to individual priest
capabilities and location). GIS also allow resources (human, financial,
printed material, equipment, etc.) to be planned and allocated wisely.
Thanks to GIS, maps and driving routes can be drawn with extreme
precision for visitations and preaching. Using GIS (e.g., through a
Web-based interface), individuals can quickly find the nearest
church/ministry centre that is able to fulfill their needs, especially
when they travel away from their primary residential location. Finally,
GIS can also help in studying biblical geography, nations and history,
and even in mapping the Christian Web or cyberspace.
