Hi Neil,
It seems to me that there is a bit of old and new wine in all of us. So I ‘m not up for homogenous churches. Sanctuary First is primarily about helping people worship. This may mean people who don’t go to a traditional worship centre on a regular basis might start engaging with Sanctuary First .
You ask about welding virtual and physical and how it might work. We do it all the time in our everyday lives and also at the moment through our traditional worship.
We’d wish to promote the importance of hi touch as well as hi tech. So we’d like to see on line worshippers connect with each other in physical space as well as cyber-space.
We’re finding that our traditional service which is streamed out is also attracting cyberspace worshippers to attend a service in our church building.
What I’m proposing for Sanctuary First once we have the webpage designed is the possibility of
engaging with worship on a daily basis and meeting up on a monthly time table to explore how an on line community can engage as a physical community. the interesting thing will be to see if we can franchise Sanctuary First meeting venues all over.

I’m not clear how this welding of virtual and physical will work. Can a community which thinks of its meetings as non-traditional sign up, as a place where Sanctuary First cyber-worshippers can come? Or would there be places around the country for cyber-worshippers only, rather than new wine going into old skins?
