The virtual church and how to avoid it

The cyberchurch, and the possibilities it offers for global scale fellowship, is already enthusing many evangelical leaders.

The presence of church and parachurch ministries on the internet, in just a few years into the new millennium, is already enormous. It is right also that Christianity should make its presence felt.

Information about local churches, Christian books, sermons available in MP3, you name it, is already duly available in the comfort of our homes, via the Net. I for one am only too pleased that the church is taking seriously both the evangelistic and teaching-aid possibilities that the Web provides. But the vast array of church and Christian information already available is not our concern here. What I propose focusing on is the current growth and still greater potential for growth of real-time, on-line worship experiences afforded by cyberspace.
