One of the things I love doing this podcast is it introduces me to things I didn't know were a thing but love learning about.  This chat with Rev Pippa White is so significant for many reasons.  For Christians, this is a real challenge to them for whether they are inhabiting the spaces of the younger generation. Jesus used the common communication tool of the time to communicate his message.
For teachers, this is about The Great Commission in the 21st Century - go out into 'all' the world.  This now includes the digital world.
But this is also about the nature of Theology and doctrine. Where is the authority  and accountability for the Theology that is being created and shared on Social Media?  Can you be a Christian in a disembodied state and what the advantages and disadvangtes of that?
Plus, regardless of spending my teenage years in an Anglican Church and 23 years as an RE teacher, I learnt that I had no idea what the Anglican Church was! 
But overall, it was just so lovely to talk to Pippa. She is a warm and delightful human being so please follow her on Social Media:
