Ecclesiology in the cyber age

"The focus of Ecclesiology in the Cyber Age becomes pertinent in this culture of virtuality. Virtual communication, virtual communion, Web Churches, Hitech meetings etc are the way of the day and this virtual age enables us as human beings to draw closer not necessarily on a physical space but on a virtual space. This virtual space and openness that it holds in terms of allowing everyone to participate without disclosing their identity enables us [to] learn adventurous and innovative ways of doing mission. As the mission objectives are on constant change in this diverse world, the mission of the Church in the Cyber age is another challenge. This challenge is a positive challenge posed to the church to transform itself according to the changing context. But this might also cause threat to the physical presence that one would have in a physical space. But when that physical space becomes a distant reality, Virtual space only becomes a reality. Bishop Taranath S. Sagar, President, NCCI."--Back cover.
