Digital Parish: Building an app-based ministry and online contemplative community

In a culture that is obsessed with innovation and individuality, what is the place of the Church and the spiritual? That’s what we’re getting into with Andrew Root in this culturally-context-obsessed session of Pastoring in the Digital Parish.

“The church must change or die…” These dire words get repeated about 100 times a day across the Twitterverse. We do need some creative ideas (like more digital ministries!), but  Andrew Root cautions that innovation is not explicitly our mission. Instead, we’ll seek to creatively draw people towards the ongoing mission of spiritual formation.
