However, many Second Life ministries are successful at bringing people to Christ, and then getting them into a "real" church. Our own Bible study in Second Life is an example. I've also posted a <a href="http://anglicanecumenicalbiblestudy.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">response to Hipps</a> regarding some of his concerns re. virtual community ministries.

There must be some kind of conduit for Internet viewers to make their way into real interaction with members of a church community. I wonder if the Internet can be a substitute for Sunday mornings with the understanding that attendance at a physical small group would be mandatory. It's a thought. Also, I got to your blog via Twitter, where I started following you something like six months ago. Periodically, I'll search for people who are connected to Biola to see who has signed up for Twitter. (I'm an alumni from the class of 2000.) I use Twitter because Facebook is too broad and invasive for me. Also, I mostly use Twitter to stay in touch with my family (we are spread out over the world). I also teach college literature and am using a separate Twitter account for class interaction. I'll be anxious to hear what you think of the Twitter for churches e-book.
