If memory shapes self-identity, how does your online presence affect who you are? Do our social media committments bring us closer to a 1st century Mediterranean sense of dyadic personality? Are we living in an age of augmented reality or do we prefer to maintain a senes of digital dualism?

These questions and questions like them are addressed by a series of short videos and articles that have been put together into a presentation of Cyber Christianity on Tumblr. The Cyber Christianity Tumblr is a 30-slide presentation of how the church experience might be reconcieved in light of emerging cyberhuman tendencies. BibleWoot's Pinterest page continues the discussion with a continually-curated pinboard on Cyber Christianity

Assuming that the online world is reshaping our conceptions of self, how does that affect our conception of church? Is the Body of Christ digitally augmented, does it have a virtual self, or is there some other way to be salt and light in the meat space / digital space interface?
