The relationship between media and religion is a profound, complex, and subtle one. While the media have grown in cultural importance over the past century, religious institutions and movements have contemplated how to respond and have experimented with ways of accommodating to this new reality. Through this, a relationship has developed that now determines, in important ways, the prospects and prerogatives of religion into the twenty-first century.
What is religion’s relationship to technology and media nowadays?
What are meaningful ways to connect religious media with a post-church society?
What is the distinction between ‘physical participation’ and ‘online attendance’ in religious services in post-modernity?
Gabriel Begle, Digital Platforms director of Adventist Review and guest speaker for the seminar, will give some meaningful answers to these questions.
The European Communication Seminar, hosted by the Inter-European division (EUD) and Trans-European division (TED), will take place on Tuesday, January 31, at 6.00 pm London time & 7.00 pm Bern time.
This is an open event, intended for all communication directors and professionals working for the church, as well as enthusiasts and digital influencers.
