Sanctuary First, New College at Edinburgh University, and the Centre for Digital Theology at Durham University are working together to develop a series of workshops about online church. Each workshop will include both academic and practical insights into digital expressions of church, space to respond creatively to that input and for wider conversations around the theme – and we’ll eat lunch together! The overall theme is “Nurturing the Church: Online and offline” We are especially keen to include creatives in the process – be that pioneers, artists, film makers, musicians, writers – and also those engage in church leadership, formation, and the practice of digital church. We’ll also be inviting a number of professional theologians to be present at each event. Materials presented at the event, and created around each event will be collected for publication at the end of the series of workshops. The content will reflect the monthly reflections of Sanctuary First’s online discipleship materials, while being specifically related in the seminar to aspects of digital expressions of church. We want to look closely at what it might mean for churches across Scotland to be spiritual hubs for their local communities both online and offline. How might your church develop an online presence, a digital expression of Church, to serve the wider community? These events will take place online. Workshops: 11am-3pm on the following dates: 9 March 2020: Digital Church: Essentials 6 April 2020: Digital Church: Towards Flourishing 4 May 2020: Digital Church: Creativity and Creatives 8 June 2020: Digital Church: Time to Fish This article was published on 2024-03-19
