The Ecclesiology of Virtual Christianity: Formal Sociality

Last updated on: September 16, 2019 at 5:28 am By Mike Langford

I have been writing about The Robloxian Christians (TRC), a church that exists in the virtual world of Roblox. We have looked at the mission, “reality,” and relationality of TRC. We also began an examination of TRC in light of general ecclesiology to theologically address the assert the extent to which an online church is, indeed, a church, an affirmation at which many balk. We posited this basic ecclesiology: A church is where we corporately and formally enter into the... Read more

Broken code: the vandalism of shalom

Last updated on: August 7, 2019 at 2:31 pm By Bruce Baker

Coders play a glorified role in our society. They are makers-of-worlds. To see your code spring to life is a wonderful, exhilarating experience. Coders know what this feels like. This creative power inspires altruism in the hacker ethic. It also contributes to idealistic thinking that can slide into techno-utopianism. In previous posts, we have celebrated the beauty of this creativity, and noticed the risk of hubris that sprouts from it. With power comes moral responsibility. The root problem is sin,... Read more

Playing in the Cybernetic Meadow

Last updated on: July 19, 2019 at 2:40 am By Bruce Baker

“I like to think (and the sooner the better!) of a cybernetic meadow where mammals and computers live together in mutually programming harmony like pure water touching clear sky.” — Richard Brautigan In his 1967 poem, “All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace”, Richard Brautigan dreamed of an idyllic place, “where mammals and computers live together in mutually programming harmony.” Brautigan wrote the poem during his short stay as poet-in-residence at the California Institute of Technology, as likely a...

Sin and the Tragedy of Techno-Utopianism

Last updated on: June 29, 2019 at 12:44 am By Bruce Baker

“It’s never going to go to zero.” So says Mike Schroepfer, Facebook’s chief technology officer, in a New York Times interview. “It” is the on-going stream of hate, malicious messaging and bad behavior that Facebook’s platform promulgates. Schroepfer is simply being realistic. But his realism flies in the face of his boss’s belief that the solution to Facebook is more Facebook. Schroepfer’s admission is a coy, but direct, rebuttal of his boss’s idealistic insistence that Facebook can police itself and... Read more
