| Σύνοψη: | After identifying some of the strengths and weaknesses of online social interaction, this article examines whether church practices (specifically confession of sin and communion) should ever be offered online. Readers are invited to consider this question critically without immediately dismissing it as absurd and then consider how church practices as we typically experience them (with a physically present congregation) can be evaluated by comparing them to their online versions. Whether Christian practices should be offered online or not, this article encourages churches to consider making more extensive use of the Internet; ignoring online communication today would be like ignoring the telephone when it became a common means of connecting us to one another. |
