Click here to view the full show notes and transcript for this episode.
With all the buzz surrounding the word ‘metaverse’ and news of companies like Facebook investing in its development, many people wonder how it will impact the church.
One question that may be on the minds of many people in leadership positions in churches and other spiritual communities is whether they should hop aboard this next wave of technology or avoid it for fear that it will put them at risk.
The answer to this question is not as cut-and-dried as it might seem. For starters, there are some clear benefits to embracing new technology: for one thing, it can help us engage our congregants in ways that were previously impossible.
But there are also risks associated with this technology—especially when it comes to how it may impact our faith and practices.
We believe that there is a lot to be said about the power of face-to-face interaction and interaction within communities.
In fact, the metaverse can play a significant role in helping us create communities that allow us to come together and share ideas, but is it right for every church? How can it be used effectively while maintaining faithfulness?
We invite you to join this episode as we explore these questions in more detail and discuss how the metaverse might affect your church community. Dean Sweetman and Frank Barry will talk about what they think about using the metaverse for ministry, how it might work best in your church, and what potential pitfalls could arise from implementing this new approach.
“The church has to stay committed to taking ground, buying land, building buildings, getting people in physical locations, and having the miracle that is the kingdom of God on the earth.”
