Description
Summary:This essay draws on a particular example of Christian community in the urban American West to ask how digital culture is shifting the way religious identity, community, and leadership are being performed in cultures shaped by digital communication. It suggests more attention is needed to the complexity of organized religion and to the ways religious communities respond to media change. Further, that scholars of media, religion, and culture can help practitioners better understand their media-context and strategize within it.
