If your church isn’t social, Facebook won’t help

The relationships among the undergraduates in Beck’s research were not formed on Facebook, they were enriched by students’ continued digital contact. The problem with regard to churches and other religious communities (and we see this over and over again with Facebook group pages whose only visitors are the minister and the technophile parishioner who championed the church’s foray into the digital domain) seems to be that there’s not enough social to go around.

There have been many inquiries and offers of help from across the Anglican Communion. Just to mention few: the Archbishop of Canterbury, churches within diocese of Louisiana, Western Louisiana, and Daejeon with which the diocese of Tohoku has companion relationships. Also we have received offers of help and prayers from bishops and dioceses within NSKK and I want to express many thanks for all of these. Challenges to overcome the damage is not limited to diocese of Tohoku, and other dioceses have been affected in some way. So I want to offer churches and people in other dioceses our solidarity and prayers .

“From time immemorial the boast of the Church has been the brotherhood of man, and its disregard of race or color in its ministrations. This is not a mere sentiment, as some claim, but one of the most cherished and time-honored principles of the Church, and one which she has held fast to throughout all the changes of the years. The one bishop administering to the sheep of both flocks is not a mere sentiment or tradition, but a priceless heritage, rendered sacred by the practice and injunction of the years.” – James Solomon Russell, 1907
