What is the
difference between a community and an association?
Can you form a "real" community in cyberspace where the primary
communication is the exchange of information?
- The "guru" of cyberspace communities is Howard Rheingold, author
of
The Virtual Community.
- Take a peek at his site to get a flavor for his idea of what a
virtual community is.

What makes a Christian community different from other
communities?
-
Acts 2:37-47 may give some clues...
- Don't look at only what they are doing but also look at
who is there.
Is a community in cyberspace and a community in Christ
compatible with one another?
- A similar question here might be this: can you emulate the same
things in the Acts passage in one of Howard Rheingold's communities?
Is it possible to have a Christian community in cyberspace?

What is the Virtual Church?
The Virtual Church* only exists on the Internet--it is a
website that serves as a compendium of Christian resources. The
Virtual Church is not affiliated with any one physical church body.
We are solely interested in fulfilling the great commission in
whatever way we can. We are completely interdenominational and do
not get involved in controversy if possible, as long as it is
accepted that salvation is received by faith alone and is only
through the grace of God and the shed blood of Jesus Christ, our
resurrected Lord and Savior.
For those who must categorize, the denominational affiliations
of the major content contributors include Baptist, Lutheran
(Missouri Synod), Assembly of God and United Methodist. We will
include works from contributors and links to sites that are in line
with our common beliefs.
