Connected Toward Communion

We are living in a cultural shift: digital communication has reshaped the way we interact with one another, form and maintain relationships, and gain knowledge and understanding. How might we go about communicating the Good News of Jesus Christ in the midst of these changes to an emerging culture shaped by digital media? This question addresses the whole church, from the baptized faithful to pastoral ministers and the institutional structures that serve the church locally and globally. In Connected toward Communion, Daniella Zsupan-Jerome traces the Roman Catholic Church's contemporary thought and practice of social communication, fromInter Mirifica of the Second Vatican Council to the churchs approach to communicating faith through social networkingtoday. Throughout, a key question forms a common thread: how might we form pastoral ministers today for serving the church in the digital age and beyond?
