Via Waxy, we enjoyed reading excerpts from this series of articles from the Rĕst ôf Ŵǭrld’s correspondents on how technology intersects with religion and is transforming the way people around the world worship and find communion in an illuminated manuscript that documents how communities are using platforms for outreach and influence as well as revitalise ancient faiths. The accounts are categories by faith and topic, presented in the the Book of Altered Reality, the Books of Apps, the Book of the Unexpected, the Book of AI and the Book of Influence. The virtual shires, electronic tithing and the TikTok monks and nuns seem especially interesting.
