[Air-L] The Digital Revolution and the Church

[Mark Brown]

I have written a paper entitled, 'The
Digital Revolution and the Church', in which I outline the characteristics of
the phenomenal internet driven digital revolution presently sweeping the globe.  I particularly focus
on how it is affecting human behavior, which offers some insights into how we
as a church might need to respond.

The opening paragraph reads,



There is a revolution sweeping
across the globe, driven by the massive growth of the internet and internet
related technologies.  Known as the Digital Revolution it is on par with
other great global shifts such as the Agrarian Revolution and the Industrial
Revolution. And it is completely changing the landscape of how we communicate,
how we influence, how we relate.  This isn’t simply about coming to grips
with a new technology to assist us in our work, but requires of us a
fundamental shift in our processes, our structures and approaches.  If we
don’t respond then as Eric Hoffer states, we will find ourselves, ‘beautifully
equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.’
