This term we have studied theology on the internet, looking at how people like to spread the word as technology has become the easiest way of communication these days.
In the first week we had a look at blogging and attempted to write a blog to reflect our week in the eyes of a religious person that we posted on a website. Also we looked at twitter and how to reflect what you want to say in 140 characters, it had to be short and straight to the point which was a tricky task but much diffrent to writing the blog which made you learn how to not 'waffle' when you are writing. In the third lesson we looked at the Oxford diocese which was looking into a real church community and how it works and we chose a subject from the website to write about. In the later lessons we then looked at second life, an online sim community and had an online chapel service.
Some bits of this project i enjoyed and some i disliked,
I enjoyed writing the twitter posts because you could make it short and snappy to get the message across which made you really think and when you had got it, it sounded really good. I really disliked the second life church service, as you could barely hear what the women was saying, and it wasnt really gripping and it didnt make anyone listen.
In the future, I think this theology on the internet will become the only way to communicate, and you will be having a lot more services online, in my opinion even weddings which i personally disagree with but I see it happening.
i think this is the way forward as everybody can see what you are doing and it is a way for people to get good information.
