Social media and religious formation

It is now clear to everyone: social networks are constitutive environments of relational experience. Why not view them without naivety – and rather with acceptance – even in the formation of seminaries and religious institutes? This is the question that the author of this book poses, insisting on the urgency of “finding a unity of life, a true connection, between all the relational places that we frequent, in a perspective of shared relationship, in which – ultimately – the effectiveness of our educational challenge is at stake.” With competence and a serene and not superficial style, this practical and operational guide accompanies us within this new digital “world” that many today are discovering and learning to appreciate. It also constitutes an “easy and practical, realistic and concrete instrument to guide the reflection and the work of all those who are engaged in the educational field from a Christian perspective, especially in seminaries” (Card. Beniamino Stella).
