Communicating Faithfully in the Digital Age
In-person Event | Presenter: Daniella Zsupan-Jerome, Ph.D.
This presentation explores the call to lend a faithful presence to digital culture, especially on social media platforms. Benedictine spirituality is a tradition deeply rooted in the Word. From this foundation we can reflect on what it means to remain rooted in the Word and let this shape our communication practices as we interact with one another in digital spaces.
