Course Memo
"Theology and Liturgy in the Digital Age" explores the opportunities and challenges created with the incorporation of technology in the 21st century. This course investigates the emerging discipline of Digital Theology, its relation to the digital humanities, and how it both causes and is an effect of current social changes. This course also looks at adaptations to liturgical practices in the digital environment, and the impact on sacramentality, ritual, bodily/virtual presence, and community. Students will engage in both theoretical inquiry and practical application. This is a seminar course, and students are assessed through active participation and a final project. [Coursework in both theology and liturgical studies required; geared toward MA/PhD/final-year-MDiv students; auditors with faculty permission.]
