I have enjoyed this series a lot. I hang out with a lot of techno-geeks and they defend the virtual church despite some of the glaring issues. Thanks for researching this so well. BTW, your Stott quote gets bonus points.

Great word: “we must be cautious when we move to speaking pragmatically without undergirding our pragmatism with theology.”

I agree. In an age when technology is the solution to most problems/issues, I’m thankful that I have a church to which I can retreat from all of this pragmatism. To be frank, I don’t want my church to always been too current with the times. I need something steadier than the capricious fads of today to guide my spiritual life.
