Koinonia Congregation is an
actual congregation meeting in an online space — a virtual reality
world known as "Second Life." Koinonia uses the cutting-edge technology
of Second Life to create a safe environment where people can learn
about the Christian faith and experience a loving Christian community.
Opening
its doors and its heart to people of various theologies, sexual
orientations, and faith experiences, Koinonia practices God's
extravagant welcome for all. Koinonia Christians celebrate the
abundance of life and welcome the diversity of God's people.
The
world-wide reach of Second Life gives Koinonia unlimited potential to
reach people who would never walk into the doors of a brick and mortar
church. It also provides a safe place for those who have been hurt or
rejected by their communities of faith.
