This week Josh got us connected with Kimberly Knight.
Kimberly Knight is a pastor of a congregation in Second Life, an online avatar driven community.
This conversation stemmed from some buzzing discussion about what is church and what is virtual church.
Zach Lind and I did a rantcast about it a few months back and then some discussion flowed out of that. I think that podcast was started by an article on Out of Ur. All of that to say it was a busy conversation and here is some follow up with a practitioner.

Hi guys,
Thanks for the great opportunity to chat with you both – I really had a great time.
Just one note for listeners, I’ve never referred to myself as a priestess. I am simply called pastor by the folks in our congregation and that is a better title for me if I even accept a title since I tend to eschew such things as I am a bit of an anti-authoritarian
and definitely post-denominational.
Love ya Nick and Josh!
Thanks,
Kimberly
AWESOME podcast!!!I’ve been wrestling for some time (after leaving the “institutional” church) about the definition of church and community. Lots to chew on in this podcast! I will probably have to enlist the “Sims-savy” expertise of my daughter, but I hope to worship with you soon, Kimberly!
