Church: Online, virtual, digital

April 15, 2020

John Dyer proposes helpful distinctions for speaking about church, face to face and online. First the tweet:

Possibly helpful distinctions:
𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 Church – stream of songs, sermons, etc.
𝗩𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 Church – services in interactive 3D environments
𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 Church – networking and connecting with other believers (has been happening since the internet began)

Then the blog post: What is an (online, virtual, broadcast, local) church? Some Helpful Distinctions.

As we venture into new territory, it’s good to have the distinctions clear.
