This presentation discusses how social networking is not new, as the oldest and largest social network is religion and Christianity. However, something new - the Internet and related technologies - are changing how people communicate and their expectations around communication. The next generation of parishioners are growing up online and the church must adapt to these new communication styles and online spaces in order to remain relevant and engage parishioners. The presentation provides examples of how churches can use online tools and services to better connect with members and foster engagement.
