The Digital Communication Revolution: Changes &
Challenges that Confront the Church Today
3/3 (Sat 9am – 1pm @ North Transept Hall)
Dr
Calvin Chong & Mr Ray Chua
What is the impact
of the digital communications revolution on everyday life in Singapore? What are
the evolutions and transformations? This workshop will present changes that have
taken place and how they impact the way we communicate with each other, our
self-identity, our lifestyle choices, on parenting and outreach. Opportunity
will be given for participants to identify and discuss issues arising from the
digital communications revolution. We will also seek to explore possible
Christian responses which can function as guides for navigating life in the
digital age.
