Cyber Church, Future Church?

St. Albans, Herts./UK. [ANR/APD] A new survey of 
US teenagers and adults suggests that many teens 
will eventually use the Internet for their only 
religious experience.

George Barna, president of Barna Research Group, says 
their research indicates that by 2010 probably 10 to 
20 per cent of the population will rely primarily on 
the Internet for its religious input. These people 
will never set foot in a church because their 
religious and spiritual needs will be met through 
other means - including the Internet.

Non-Christians are nearly as likely as Christians to 
seek a spiritual experience on the Internet (10 per 
cent versus 14 per cent). [99/02/06]
