I find myself standing steadfastly…on the fence. 0n the one hand I embrace the new media and am thrilled to see a young generation so enthusiastic about the tradition. On the other hand, having been involved with the religious presence online over the past 30 years, I’ve seen all of the problems associated with this up close. So, I applaud it but I also urge, especially responsible elders like Reginald Bailly to stay close and offer the guidence needed and to speak up as well when necessary.
