A five-second spiritual fix?
The Los Angeles Times has an interesting article about the Internet and Spirituality.
In God’s Call Comes by Cell Phone:
Andrew Careaga, a youth pastor in Salem, Mo., welcomes some of these advances. Yet he worries that when spirituality migrates to cellphones, it becomes just another item to check off the to-do list — “a five-second spiritual fix, you’ve seen the verse of the day and you’re done.”
“Technology always seems to be a Faustian bargain. It encroaches on our ability to unconnect with the world and connect with God,” said Careaga, the author of “e-Ministry: Connecting with the Net Generation”
A good point. Thoughts?
