Christianity & Web Chuch

Web Church online, found here, is a Christian church that is solely online. According to their website,"Web-Church was created to provide an online Christian worship, fellowship and discipleship community for people worldwide." This church offers everything from worship services to Bibles studies, however all of these components are self led. Their Bible study for example, is a series of questions that pertain to different texts found in the Bible. The questions do not have answers listed, and are designed for the worshiper to answer independently. Similarly, their worship services entail clicking on different song links in order to listen to the music, and the same goes for the sermons, you simply click on the lesson for the day and listen that way. The "services" are posted each week by 5 o clock on Saturdays, so they are available on Sunday for online use. Also, on their website I did not see any forms of Second Life, or even live chat. There are message boards where members can talk and post prayer request however. Since Web Church is primarily an independent, self led and self paced, this church obviously views community as a loosely bound aggregation of believers who use their online platform as means to share information between each other, but not much else. Since this church does not gather together in a offline room, let alone an online room, forming  relationships in this church body seem difficult. This "community" seems to be living out a watered down version of Christianity, compared to offline version. Answering questions and singing songs on your own lacks the corporate aspect of worship that is truly vital for this religion.
