Ep 08 Our Really Bad Digital Habits & Church as Counter-Liturgy

Title: Our Really Bad Digital Habits & Church as Counter-Liturgy

Publish Date: September 23, 2022

In today’s episode we explore Felicia Wu Song’s concept of Church as Counter-Liturgy. Dr. Song is a cultural sociologist and professor at Westmont College and a scholar at the intersection of faith and digital technologies. Her latest book is Restless Devices: Recovering Personhood, Presence, and Place in the Digital Age. I admire Dr. Song’s determination to push back on the creeping of handheld technology that has become ill-formational in our lives. She calls us to consider how the church can be a community whose collective practices of resistance shapes us to be the kind of kingdom people we long to become. Can the Church be a place of Counter-Liturgies so that we resist the lure of the ever-present, always-on technology in our every-day lives? Can we do it?
