Written by: Aurora E. L. Turkenburg On Thursday, March 12th of this year, the Dutch government advised to halt all venues with more than 100 people present in the face of increasing Covid-19 contagions. As I studied for an exam that would take place the day after, my email exploded with cancellations of venues, plans and university tests. While rummaging through a mountain of backlog the following week, I noticed an email from my hometown church. All services would be streamed online from March 15th onwards. The faithful could only visit God in the Cloud. Visiting God or his emissaries via digital media, however, has been the norm for several religious groups even before the age of Covid-19.
But where do we find religion in the digital world? Just about everywhere.
