Subject: Re: [Dale and Janice Brueggemann] The Worth o f a "Virtual" Church « Rev. Roy's Blog
| Hmm.mm Well, I guess I'm in the camp he is complaining about, since I don't think a "virtual church" can even be a church. And the comment at the bottom about virtual communion and virtual baptism is terrible. Just because "everyone is doing it" doesn't make it right. Simplistic statement I know, but it's still true. There is no personal responsibility or accountability, no real community, in all this virtual stuff. I think we've lost the idea of what a true church is. We are so attached to the Web and all these devices. I wonder how much further will it go. Are we trying to put all of life in a virtual realm? Will a virtual friend visit you in the hospital? Will a virtual friend help the old lady with putting storm screens up? (700 virtual friends invited to a party and only 1 comes?!) Janice --- On Sat, 11/14/09, Dale A.
