It seems the guys at SCM liked my presentation, as one of them asked me to come up to Sydney to talk to people in their ministry project. Very exciting for me; it means I’m on the right track.

Phil and Cheryl met all my (quite high) expectations of them in their seminars on Northern Community CoC/signposts.org.au and Virtual Worship. Great stuff. I think the three of us got the message across that virtual church will never really be, despite experiences of many who have been marginalised by class, geography, disability, age etc., a replacement of offline church, but will be a pointer to how the offline church has to change, and where to move.

Given it was received so well, I’ll use most of what I had prepared in a paper for the AoIR conference in Brisbane in September. That means I’ll write iyt up and post it here if you’re interested.

Cheryl and Phil, please do the same on your sites. I’d appreciate it.

Now I’m off to the International Thingy on Media, Religion and Culture in Sigtuna. Have blog, will travel.
