Recensioner i media

'A pioneer in her field, the Revd Pam Smith offers an excellent guide to the theological and practical concerns of online worship, fellowship and spiritual direction. From first-hand experience, she gives the reader both a theological rationale and practical wisdom for conducting online ministry. Examples of liturgy for "virtual" services, guidelines for creating safe online community and principles for online team ministry are all included in this helpful book. Highly recommended!'
