I'm not exactly sure how much he really knows or experienced community online.. because i'm not sure he would have said a number of the things he said if he really expereinced it.<br /><br />at least he got a book deal out of it. good for him.

We need be careful that possession does not lead to pride of possession, and that possession does not lead to idolatry. We collect, and we possess.

Shane Hipps talks about virtual community. He argues that virtual community can't exist because community requires four components: proximity, shared history, shared purpose and permanence. He says that any time you don't have all four it is not community. I disagree because his components would disallow lots of other types of community in addition to virtual community. Scot McKnight wrote a blog response but didn't hit any of my issues. Here is the original video. <a href="http://blog.christianitytoday.com/outofur/archives/2009/02/video_ur_shane.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://blog.christianitytoday.com/outofur/archive...</a> I have two major issues: 1) an outsider defining a community usually just doesn't get it, even if he has some points, 2) Even if virtual community is lesser than "real life community" sometimes it is the only community possible, sometimes it is a supplement to the same real life community and sometimes it is done instead and inappropriately. But that is part of free will and choice, by preventing lesser do we automatically make people have the greater community. That is the argument of the record companies (stolen music would have been purchased, when the reality is that most stolen music just would not have been consumed.) We need to leave open doors for people to access the gospel. This is one of them. Have you seen the video on Out of Ur (Christianity Today's leadership blog)?
