An orthodox Jewish rabbi is walking by a Catholic church and sees the whole congregation going in. It’s not Sunday so he wonders what’s going on. He walks in &#38; sits down right in front and with great interest watches the solemn ceremony going on.
After the ceremony is over &#38; the congregation is [...]]]></description>

Does sitting in front a computer mean disconnecting from life and meaningful issues or does it open a new door to expanded connection and ideas? Or does it perhaps foster a bit of both? Madeline Frost, in her paper CAN CYBERSPACE TRULY BE ATEMPLE FOR THE CYBERSANGHA?(PDF) states:
