DESCRIPTION:Gathered. And scattered.\n\nThe objection to digital ministry i
 s usually made on biblical grounds: the church is a gathering\, and a gath
 ering needs a room. Dr. Stephen D. Lowe has spent a career answering that 
 on its own ground — in the Old Testament\, in Acts\, in 1 Peter\, and in
  the ascension\, where Christ is bodily absent and present and directing a
 nyway.\n\nOn Becoming theChurch.digital\, Jeff Reed talks with Dr. Stephen
  D. Lowe\, co-author of Ecologies of Faith in a Digital Age and\, with Dr.
  Mary E. Lowe\, of a new book\, Biblical Foundations for an Ecology of Dig
 ital Ministry\, out the day before this conversation.\n\nWhat we get into:
  holy place giving way to holy Person\; Paul preferring a letter to a visi
 t\; whether the objection to digital communion is theological or customary
 \; baptism\, which is the harder case\; ecology as a better model of spiri
 tual growth than a headcount\; and what digital missionaries themselves ge
 t wrong.\n\nLIVE Wednesday\, October 28 — 2:00 PM ET\nChat is open the w
 hole hour.\n\nGoing deeper:\nWhat is a digital missionary? https://thechur
