As we explore the intersection of ministry and the Internet one issue we must discuss is real-world vs online relationships. Over time, we'll probably get into things like virtual church (which I have some concerns about), Social Networking, Second Life communities and Orality. But for today, I think it valuable to just get some basic terms and ideas on the table like "real-world" and "life-on-life" relationships. The question - are these the same?
