The Fully Online Church

Today during one of our discussions, a fully online church was discovered. One can join this church, be baptized in it, and take communion -- ALL ONLINE! It claims to have over 7,000 members. Go to www.alphachurch.org to find out more.

Question? Can real community happen on the internet? Is a fully online church, really a church?

And the Word became web and was totally distorted.

It is a wonderful ministry. But, Christian community calls for some accountability. I also think of the Johannine epistles. When we think of loving one another over the internet, I get an icky feeling.

I want to that all of you -- uhh both of you for being sensitive to my need to feel less futile. I can't wait til we have our next ultrasound so I can have something post-worthy. I guess I can always talk about Nolan getting married.
