One day conference at the Union Theological Seminary, organized by the New Media Peroject

For two years, the New Media Project has engaged in research and reflection about how changing patterns and tools of digital communication affect religious leaders and communities of faith. Our hope has been to model and spark theological thinking about new media through blog posts, case studies, and theological essays. This one-day event showcases the work of the New Media Project and invites participants into the ongoing conversation.

Program includes:

The fact that religion has not privatised, but remains an important aspect of public life, is now well recognised. But talk of ‘public religion’ can be vague and unfocused. The aim of this conference is to explore – with new findings – the forms which public religion is taking today, not only in the West, but elsewhere in an increasingly connected world.
