Online Theology description
During the year as a class we have experienced many
different forms of cyber theology. Some were humorous others were more serious.
These sites include the http://ship-of-fools.com/
(this site is humorous and if a fun platform to access religion in a very
unconventional context there are forums games and online shops to enhance the
very unique experience.) And http://www.oxford.anglican.org/
(this site is about the oxford diocese which is quiet serious and allows a more
conventional approach to religion.) As a class we all watched Dr herring
participate in a second life service in which a the person conducting the
service was from the noth of engerland and we were able to engage with there
avatar dispight the distance we were from each other.
Online Theology reflection
Prior to our experiences with online theology I had
little idea of the vast amount of forms
in which theology could be conduced and now after participating and
experiencing a few of them I now feel I have a border knolige of the world in
which we live. We have seen humor being used in the proses of worship and this
seems to be a good way to allow more people to engage in the world of worship.
During are studies we came across a web site called second life which allowed
people to construct a online church and hold regular services as if it were a
real church.
