JESUS DAILY AND A NEW REFORMATION ?


Here's a link to an article in the International herald Tribune:
it deals with the internet, in particularly social network sites and religion.
The Facebook page Jesus Daily, run by Dr Aaron Tabor - where he posts daily words from Jesus - has the biggest fans on Facebook, 8.2 million.
The article raises the question of whether internet churches are in fact real congregations...
More people are discussing religion on Facebook...
Is this the way forward? People are finding faith communities thanks to the internet.
The journalist also points out that the printing press helped Martin Luther usher in the Reformation...
Are we in need of a new reformation? Will internet usher it in?

I personally think that Internet is a great tool for sharing ideas, and yes why not faith?
In our 'age' many of us are looking towards a 'new' reformation, a new way of being church and christian that makes sense in our times; while remaining faithful to the traditions and scripture.
He's a quote from Dr Tabor: "There are people out of work, at the end of the line and I just want the Jesus Daily to be central place where they find encouragement."
