As we continue our march into the future, Christians are continually challenged by the global reality of the Digital Age.  Online technologies are creating an immersive culture of connectivity.  What was formerly known as back channel communication (and considered a niche stream of information) is now in the forefront of our communication preferences.

As we grapple together about the impacts that technology may have on the practice of our faith, some Pastors are writing about it (SimChurch – Douglas Estes, Flickering Pixels – Shane Hipps), some Communication specialists are making predictions about it (Ministry in a Post-Christian Digital Society – Part 1 – Jake Johnson), some University professors (Lessons from Babel – Dr. Dave Bourgeois) are studying it, some theological seminary graduates are cautioning us about it (Don’t Eat the Fruit – John Dyer) and some developers are forging ahead with new amazing new applications (YouVersionLive – Terry Storch) for harnessing it’s potential.

I’ve taken a full 10 days off blogging about technology & the church, something I haven’t done in 5 years.  I’m still pondering the polarizing and controversial conversations that surfaced at  the Christian Web Conference at Biola University.  No easy answers but lots of questions.  What are you thinking about when it comes to online church?
