All Things Considered: Christianity in the Digital Age

Christianity in the Digital Age
Have you twittered recently or blogged? Do you check your emails every morning, or update your page on Facebook?
In this week's "All Things Considered" (Sunday, 19 July 08.30 am/Weds 22 July 6.30 pm) Roy Jenkins looks at the digital revolution which we're all living through.
We know how valuable it can be for keeping up with family in far-off places, and the bewildering range of choice now available on our television remote control, but how will all this change the way we relate to other people? How will it affect those who can't access the new technology? And what are the implications for the Christian faith now that some people already choose to worship online, rather than in their local church.
Joining Roy to discuss the issues are Andrew Graystone, Director of the Church and Media Network; Sara Speicher, of the World Association for Christian Communication; Keith Kimber, Vicar of the City Parish Church of St. John in the centre of Cardiff; and Gareth Edwards, Superintendent Minister of the Blackwood Methodist Circuit and a leader of the Anglican Cathedral in the virtual reality world "Second Life".
