3) A Missiology of Social Distancing: Ministry Innovation during Biosecurity Crises
I am a computer-person, and I have seen a great increase in the people doing social networking. At the same time, I have seen a LOT of people who suddenly recognize that social media is not a replacement for personal social interaction. I am not arguing against using social media for missions, but rather pointing out that our current social media is not able to truly replace the in-person meeting. There is still a huge need for loving the neighbor who lives next-door.
