A conference at Aarhus University, Denmark – January 27-29 2010

Website: http://www.teo.au.dk/churchandmission

One of the four main themes of this conference is "Church in Cyberspace." This section welcomes all papers examining the relationship between church, mission and the new media, especially the Internet. How do the new media affect the ways in which the church operates? What impact do secularization, globalization and multireligiosity have on the church in cyberspace? Does the Internet offer new alternatives to traditional approaches to mission? Can church and congregational communities be built in cyberspace? Both theoretical and empirical approaches are most welcome.
