Communion Beyond Connection: Youth, Social Media, and Theology of Christian Relationality in an Age of Networks

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

In this session we’ll consider a theologically grounded response to networked individualism, a new cultural configuration that drives teenagers’ love/hate obsession with social media and increasingly undergirds the kind of relationality that all of us pursue.  Critiquing the “selective sociality” of friendship in the digital age, we’ll explore the church’s calling to offer teenagers communion beyond connection.
