| Zusammenfassung: | Digital technology has changed individual and communal lives radically, resulting in the emergence of online-based churches. Concerns regarding the nature of online-based churches call for a theological investigation. This article critically examines ongoing debates and argues that: An online-based church should be construed and welcomed from the perspective of theocentrism. As of now, it is worthy to embrace church online rather than an online church until the issues of immersion in worship and gatherings of church members, and problems of online sacraments are resolved. This article highlights the problems surrounding online-based churches, and elaborates ecclesiology in the digital era. |
