Virtual Reflection or Virtually Reflecting? Doing Group Theological Reflection Online

Authors

Abstract

When we learn to adjust our expectations and understand that meeting in a virtual classroom is not better or worse - just different - than being physically together in a classroom, then we put ourselves into a position to maximize an online experience. When we have helped to create the right set of expectations and dedicated ourselves to helping develop the life of our online group, then our virtual reflection community can thrive and, perhaps, even experience some virtual moments of genuine transcendence.
