The future of non-computer media is to exaggerate all the things you can't put on a computer. This is what will guarantee their survival.
As my expression of church becomes more media intensive :: presentations/ quicktime loops...etc :: the key factor of church, for me, is its physicality... touch/ sound/ sight... the warmth of a handshake/ hug/ kiss... the natural spontaneity of conversation/ prayer... the fellowship and belonging of community... the messy, unstructured nature of real life relationships...
For me, that's what it means to belong.
