Submission + - Second Life to be Evangelized
Edis Krad writes: Among the many changes Second Life has been experiencing lately (such as the banning of gambling), it will now undergo a spiritual transformation. Going to distant, uncharted lands to spread the knowledge of Christianity has always been the way of the Jesuits, which have given its missionaries an aura of adventurers. This time, however, instead of going deep into the jungles of Africa or the far lands of China, missionaries will face the 'risqué' lands of Second Life. From the article:
Does this mean I will be now able to attend church from my living-room in my underwear?"This virtual Second Life is becoming populated with churches, mosques, temples, cathedrals. synagogues, places of prayer of all kinds. And behind an avatar there is a man or a woman, perhaps searching for God and faith, perhaps with very strong spiritual needs."
