I should have the Wiki going in the next week or so. When I went to look at what was available there were a huge number of ways to do it. I've narrowed that down to a couple and I'm testing which one is the best for our needs (simple editing interface and ability to track changes being the key things I'm looking for).

Hi, Hope everyone's rested. I just surfed the Journal of Religion and Popular Culture web site and found the latest issues has some articles that may relate to religious authority and virtual communication/community. In particular an article titled: "Miracles or Love? How Relgious Leaders Communicate Trustworthiness through the Web". I haven't read it yet, but hope to in the next couple of

Thank you all for a very stimulating meeting! As part of the process towards publication here are: a link to the PDF cut down SBL Style Guide (nb. it is designed for students and is not intended to be authoritative) a link from Stephen to an Endnote plug-in for the SBL styles. (The relevant material is at the bottom of 2.2. Stephen makes no promises as to its quality, but offers it as a

Tim, will there be time to discuss how this blog went? What people thought about it, liked, disliked?

probably 2 late, but here - p2ptheology.PDF - is my paper. The table forms the heart of the paper and I will basically speak to that on Saturday.

I realised that I did not check the vegetarian options at the restaurant for Friday before booking, here is what I spotted from the menu (if Peter wants there are also fish options): Starters: Insalata Mista Fresh garden salad tossed with our olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Best around! Antipasto Freddo A traditional Italian way of commencing a meal with a stunning array of

Click here - grid.PDF - for a second part of the paper; which is basically a (developing) table that compares and contrast a number of "P2P" theological communities; including blogs, grid blogs and open source theology sites.

One or two are asking, we will be in a room with Data Projector standard VGA cable, network (standard phone type cable not wireless yet, that's for next month) and therefore Internet connection. I have booked an Italian restaurant for Friday evening, hope that cuisine will suit everyone. The other meals will be catered here. I forgot to mention the pattern. There is about 3/4 hour each, so

Here at Waikato our project got ethics approval at the end of last week. We have an interview organized for mid-this week, and in the meantime tried to tee up the Anglican church instead of the still-under-development Presbyterians. However, this website-management business seems to be a volatile one and the Anglicans' webmaster had been on the job for only two weeks: he's trying to find

Peter's material, mentioned below, is HERE.

I've been working on the first part of my paper and thinking about the name of the colloquium "Virtual theology." The result is almost another paper, but also sets the framework for the sort of argument I want to explore in the issues I posted earlier. There's some integration of the two needed, but here's something further on the idea that rather than talking about virtual theology, we need to be

Abstract In this paper the metaphors of ‘God as hacker’ and human beings as created co-creators are linked with the narratives of creativity, novelty and experience that can be seen within contemporary technoculture.
