Creating communities in cyberspace
This article was originally published on www.catholica.com.au.
In many ways
the internet is turning into the revolution for our post-WWII generations
that the birth of the motor car, the aeroplane and radio communications
was for our parents' and grandparents' generations. Amanda McKenna almost
lives in cyerbspace these days, as does her husband, the editor of Catholica,
Brian Coyne. In separate ways a large part of their work today is focused
on finding ways in which the net might be used in service of communicating

Some recurring themes have been occupying the space directly under my nose of late – and for the purposes of this discussion; two themes in particular.

Nowadays, "the ends of the earth" has expanded to include a brand-new frontier – cyberspace. Humanity has grown from the womb of creation to a point where 'parochial' has morphed into 'global', and it's all happening right under our noses. We haven't even begun to address the implications of this new global awareness, so there is much work to be done.
The other recurring theme for me has been how we behave towards one another in this new global frontier. I see enormous potential here for being light-bearers and bringers of Good News. I have participated in cyberspace long enough to know that real hearts and minds lie behind the words on the screen. I've met many of these people and count them among some of my most treasured friends.
