From becoming a "FAN" of Jesus on Facebook to faith blogs and online churches, they way we interact with our faith and interpret religion has changed. "This workshop will be split into two-parts.
Part 1 led by Tiffany French, will be an interactive look at social media convergence and its impact on faith. Utilizing videos, websites, Facebook pages and Blogger accounts. Part 2 will be led by Rebecca Woods and she will delve into the theological depths of social media and religion."
