ABSTRACT

It pays attention to the ways religious groups consciously, and unconsciously, connect online and offline aspect of their communities and practices. It takes its name from the Western phenomena of “multisite churches,” which seek to create a unified network of different sites connected together through a technologically driven structure around a central campus church. This chapter also presents a case study of multisite churches in America function and how they create new understandings of space and community through their technologically driven model of church. It shows that multisite reality means recognizing the importance of technology, and how it be used to create a new, online-offline expression of religious practice and community.
