The topics: 

T1: How can social media tools help build a sense of community for congregations?
T2: Where does “virtual community” fall short, in comparison to “physical community”?
T3: Is virtual community incarnational? How? (or how not?)
T4: To turn the question on its head: How can physical community support virtual community?

This week's chat moderated by David Hansen (@rev_david)
