There are online communities and there are real-life communities.
You can build an online community in real-life, but can you build a real-life community, online?
The City sits down with Pastor Mark Driscoll and Pastor Jeff VanderStelt and talk about The Gospel and technology.
Pastor Mark Driscoll says:
The point of technology is not (to be) cool, it is community. If you don’t have real community then technology actually doesn’t help build it.

What is your church doing to leverage technology to complete God’s mission?
Could more be done?
