When there's a screen between us, it becomes easier to ignore our humanity. On one hand, we bully, shame and blame online much more readily than if we are face-to-face. On the other hand, because of this culture of online shaming, we rarely express our full selves online. Our social media selves are carefully-curated versions of ourselves we think the internet will approve of. How can we use our screens to facilitate life-giving relationships rather than hide from them?
Catalyst looks to four big ideas to shape our next steps as a church: Friendship, Diversity, Discipleship and Pilgrimage. What they all have in common: proximity. Faith isn’t real until it’s up close and personal.
