Networking Faiths

A place in the network has equipped Christian communities with a new place and powerful new recruitment tool. Most all networks actively recruit, and the few that don't, (as to keep exclusivity) still gain prominence through the network. A group already dedicated to recruitment, gains a new frontier in the network society.

Real Life recruitment techniques have softened. Campus Crusade for Christ (the behemoth of evangelical organizations), had segment in their 2007 conference called "Connected Movements," regarding the web 2.0 frontier and discipleship and a "facebook tutorial" designed to teach participants how to use this social network as a community online.

Being a member of a community gives you a connection with others within the community, and the broad world wide community of "Christians" maybe be the worlds largest. New Christianity favors unification under the reduction of the faith to the simple principle of faith in Christ and the three forms of god.

One could imagine a Christian flash mob protesting affronts to their faith in a moments notice.
