The internet, especially social media, has transformed the ways that we work, play, communicate, and even think. It is having a profound impact on the way that we worship and live together as religious communities. Christianity has experienced revolutions in communications before, such as the abandonment of scrolls, the spread of the printing press, and the genesis of radio and television.

Each time these developments have inspired new ways of experiencing faith and fellowship. We will consider the unique and unanticipated challenges and opportunities presented by our new communication technologies to the church.
