This term we have studied Theology on the internet. We have visited websites with a theological base, for example the Diocese in Oxford (http://www.oxford.anglican.org/). On this website you can explore the different aspects of the Diocese online, and discover missions, their ideas on social justice, schools, extra information, news, living faith, links and how you can be more religious. We did a prep on this website to have further knowledge on the diocese and what it does. We visited a website called Ship of Fools (http://ship-of-fools.com/) which has a humorous aspect on Christianity. We did a prep on this and whether comedy in religion is right or wrong. We wrote some twitter feeds and had a look at Dr Herring using Second Life in a service online and studied how it works and how it can be used religiously. We wrote about what Second Life is and how it is theological.

I found studying theology on the internet an interesting way of looking at how it can be used in the 21st century. It showed the class that on the internet you can find a lot of information and varying websites to use for studying theology. Studying theology in this way shows there's a wide range of theology-based online "worlds" that can be acsessed by anyone. I enjoyed this more than simple writing in books because of the different things we did and it was a good way of studying in an interesting way.
