Hello,
My name is Patrick Collins. I am new to this site and the forums. However, I am not new to the Progressive Christian movement. I am currently a seminary student enrolled in the Journey program at the Iliff School of Theology and I am taking a class on Media, Religion, and Culture from Dr. Jeffrey Mahan. I have been tasked with picking, following, and interacting with a website for the course and then reporting on my activities at a later date. I have not spent much time on this site and I am looking forward to interacting with users and community here during my class and, hopefully beyond. If anyone has any helpful tips on how to get involved or most fruitful areas of the site I am all ears.

Media And Religion
in The Cafe
Posted
I am taking a class at Iliff about religion and media. One of the topis we have been discussing is the role of new media (mainly internet and social media) in religion. One of the topics were there has been some discussion is that the new forms of media have softened the the old hard line between secular pop culture and religion. I am interested in what those in the progressive christian circles here think about the role of new media in religion? What are the potential impacts of social media on the future of religion as you see it? Do you see the line between sacred and secular being blurred by all the new types of media?
