FINDING NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY
THROUGH THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY
THROUGH THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY
Author
Carolyn Fenner Moss D.Min.
Abstract
This Doctor of Ministry project explores the relationship between Christian community and new technologies in the context of a small, rural, family based Presbyterian congregation. The COVID-19 pandemic introduced technology usage to Slippery Rock Presbyterian Church. This paper describes the demographic, economic and historical context of the congregation. Then, it explores definitions of Christian community, with an emphasis on boundaries that shape Christian communities. It continues considering Old and New Testament Scriptures as they relate to community formation. Finally, the paper presents a project that examined the potential formation of Christian community using a devotional study presented on a Facebook group during Advent 2021.
