Can online communities like Jesus Daily take the place of offline religious life, like what happens at synagogues and churches?

A Supplement to Congregating
Eddie S. Glaude Jr., professor of religion, Princeton
"Online communities of faith will not displace traditional forms of religious life."
-
Believers but Not Churchgoers
Cheryl J. Sanders, senior pastor, Third Street Church of God
"As a pastor, it is my responsibility to encourage participation in face-to-face meetings at the church each week for worship, prayer and Bible study."
It is a threat but we can deal with it.

Spreading the Good Word, Online

Not a threat. Just a different marquee sign. Diane Winston, University of South California

Food they are. Dogs are pets.
-
Fashion, to the extent it drives itself, is silly.
There are forces that are not fashion that drive it.
One of them is military uniform. Another is nationalism.
Another is weather more than climate. The colours and fabrics this fall are prewar
and tropical. Miami rather than Brazil or Cuba.
Definitely not Newport or Miami Beach.
