The latest issue of YouthWorker Journal has an article by Renee Altson entitled Virtual Community: The New Frontier.
Reading it reminded me of something I heard Leonard Sweet say once. He said that those of my generation (I was born in 1959) tend to see the internet as an information source - a place to find facts, data, etc. But those who are younger than myself tend to see the internet as a community - a place to make friends, grow relationships, etc.

I believe that the internet provides today's church with a historic opportunity .... to tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love in ways which could only have been imagined in times past. The objective of this website is to explore the various ways in which today's technology can be used to spread the gospel around the world.
