Is there a place for the church in the metaverse?
By Daniel Hofkamp, Evangelical Focus:
A virtual forum for Christian leaders, with technology experts and pastors, analysed the technological and communicative development of the Internet of the future.
“I don’t know anything about the metaverse!” That was the confession the songwriter Kike Pavón made and with which most of us who attended the forum Church in the metaverse, identifies.
The forum, which gathered around 500 pastors and leaders in a virtual meeting last October 20, aimed to introduce this new world in order to start reflecting on it.
This emerging technology in which the technological giants are investing, offers the promise of an immersive and interactive world.
The metaverse is already part of the conversation, and perhaps it is still more an idea than a reality that can be experienced, but this could change in the coming years as technology and access to what some are already calling “the Internet of the future” continues to develop.
According to technology expert and evangelical pastor Julio Martinez, what is coming is “a paradigm shift, the next technological revolution that will make today’s Internet seem like a thing of the past”. But he warned that its definitive development will come within a decade.
Explaining what the metaverse is and why it might be interesting for a church was the focus of the virtual forum organized by GoldenRealm, a company specializing in marketing that helps churches to develop in new technologies.
