Some of the thoughts from an article  The Church-Internet (dis)connection
by  Andrew Careaga

Instead of debating among ourselves whether authentic community can exist over the Net, why don’t we go out into all the world of cyberspace and be part of the community that does indeed exist on the Net? Who knows? Maybe the church can add some authenticity to what’s out there. We in the church must change our way of thinking about the Internet. If we don’t, we’ll end up with our own subculture online, just as we have in “real life.”
