Description
Summary:This essay explores digital culture and advocates for how the Church can be a pro-active presence in this context especially if attentive to three critical socio-cultural developments wrought by digital communication technologies: truthfulness, potential for authentic encounters, and shifting notions of authority. By emphasizing the work of the Holy Spirit as both constitutive of Church but also transformative for each of these three developments, the essay proposes building on pneumatological foundations toward a future Church, one that can be a prophetic and proactive witness in digital culture.
