Implications of Cyberspace Technologies on the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Nyanchwa Station, South Kenya Conference, Kenya

Abstract

Traditionally, direct physical operations were the main ways churches used to enlarge their presence. However, today, this has been assumed by cyberspace technologies, thereby giving the church another way of being and realizing her mission. Many church congregants, particularly the youth, are found in cyberspace technological platforms for various purposes, and many church activities are realized through cyberspace technologies. However, the critical gap that this study endeavored to investigate is that Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) churches in Nyanchwa Station employ cyberspace technologies sometimes without a proper understanding of their negative implications. Also, the church seems to be doing little to overcome the limitations of cyberspace technologies for the good of its congregants. The study employed the critical theory of technology to evaluate the implications of cyberspace technologies on the SDA church.
