| Summary: | The Internet has facilitated Christian mission by providing fast, cheap, secure global communication and information access. Missiological research is now incomplete unless it has checked the resources available on the World Wide Web. Theological education and mission training are facing the implications of the Internet for the delivery and assessment of courses. New communities of learning are being created. The culture of the Internet is itself a field for missiological inquiry. The challenge of information technology for the missiological community is to be a critic of its social and religious effects and at the same time be stewards of the power it provides and contributors to the futures it creates. |
