Abstract
Being church in the era of ‘homo digitalis’
Highlights
We live in a society where God has been replaced with air-conditioning, insurance, medical aid and good manners
Many churches in the reformed tradition are dying. It seems as if theology has become an exercise in futility
In 1947, 17.1% of the Dutch population indicated that they did not belong to any church; in 1979, this figure rose to 27%, and by 1993, it reached 52% (Heitink 1993:14)
Summary
We live in a society where God has been replaced with air-conditioning, insurance, medical aid and good manners. It is an openended engagement with issues such as network theory, history of technology, the impact of the digital revolution on human existence and being church in the digital era (see Joubert 2018).
