Technology has enhanced our lives wonderfully but can become a barrier to connection with Christ. This has never been truer than since the advent of smartphones. We can retreat into our phones from our immediate surroundings and companions. This virtual ‘home’ promises safety and belonging but can increase anxiety and isolation and Christ is often left outside. This workshop will consider the risks of smartphone and social media usage and how we might set healthy limits so that we do not become their slaves. We will then explore practical ideas for reconnecting with Christ directly and through creation and community.
