Online Church: Is It Really Church?

November 12th, 2009 § 1

second life churchIn case you missed it, I was privileged to do a series of guest posts on the topic of online church over at Rethinkmission.org, Jonathan McIntosh’s blog. If you don’t read Jon’s blog, you should. It’s an awesome blog filled with some great content.

My series was in response to Doug Estes recent blog tour to promote his new book, SimChurch: Being the Church in the Virtual World. In particular, I was responding to his post on Out of Ur. It’s probably no secret that I don’t support the notion of doing church purely online, though I do think the Internet is an invaluable tool for churches and ministry. I was disappointed that Doug seemed to be attacking straw men, rather than engaging in a fruitful debate on this topic. Thus, I wrote the following series linked below. Thanks again to Jonathan for letting me soap box on his digital lawn.
