Doing 'Digital Church' in the face of Covid-19

Many churches in Australasia, Europe and the US are being forced to move their services online. This is just one aspect of ‘digital church’. We want to gather some useful resources and insights, and we intend to publish some reflections on the lessons we learn. We thought this article from Christianity Today published last week, provides helpful starting point.

We think churches are being thrown into something of a crash-course of 21st Century digitally-enabled following of Jesus as we self-isolate. We want to encourage experimentation and creativity, especially in terms of ensuring the most vulnerable within our communities remain connected and supported.

We would also advise care to be taken to ensure that we maintain high technical ‘hygiene’ as we deploy these solutions; ensuring our church administration and members are not inadvertently exposed to more invasions of privacy.
