>> ISSN 1076-027X / Volume 3, Number 3 / March 1, 1997
>>
>> Searching for Meaning Online
>> John December introduces this special issue, edited by
>> Michel Bauwens, which focuses on spiritual life online.
>> The online world need not be considered "neutral" in
>> its spiritual aspects, nor purely technological in what
>> we can do with it.
>>
>> SPECIAL FOCUS: SPIRITUALITY ONLINE
>>
>> * Techgnosis, Infomysticism, and the War Against Entropy
>> Are we are about to weave a Universe Wide Web of
>> intercommunication? Are we on the verge of
>> understanding our universe as an "infoverse" in which
>> mind is a key force, rather than an accidental
>> epiphenomenon? Steve Mizrach explores the metaphysical
>> implications of these questions.
>>
>> * The Emerging Faith Communities of Cyberspace
>> Does God surf the Internet? Charles Henderson, the
>> organizing pastor of The First Church of Cyberspace,
>> addresses this question, sorting out the sacred from
>> the profane on the Net.
>>
>> * Sacralization of Hyperlink Geometry
>> Can the hyperlinks of the Web be woven into something
>> that unleashes human potential? Anthony N. Judge
>> describes a project ot use hypertext to configure
>> seemingly unrelated, or opposing, perspectives and
>> understandings.
>>
>> * Teilhard de Chardin and the Noosphere
>> No other thinker is so often cited as a
>> techno-spiritual forerunner as Teilhard de Chardin,
>> coiner of the concept of the noosphere, usually
>> associated with the Internet. In this essay, Paulist
>> Father Rev. Cunningham goes back to the Teilhard's
>> original text to explain the philosopher's own
>> evolution.
>>
>> * The Last Link: The Future Shape of Religious Structures
>> Will digital beings will evolve to mediate new forms of
>> spirituality and religious experience? Richard Thieme
>> suggests that religious structures can flourish and
>> continue to exist in the electronic media, but they
>> will be influenced by global, virtual, and
>> cross-cultural realities.
