Mitchell Atencio discusses the implications of Web 3.0, NFTs and blockchains for digital ministry on Pastoring in the Digital Parish.

Mitchell Atencio is the assistant news editor with Sojourners–a magazine that is likely familiar to many of us. As such, the bulk of Mitchell’s work and writing centers on the magazine’s focus on social justice issues. But back in November of 2021, Mitchell wrote a really helpful article on Web 3.0 and its implications for the church. The article addressed ideas like cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens and their implications for faith communities in digital space.

Did you know that there are daily practices you can utilize to seemingly slow down the pace of life, center yourself and cause some Divine disruptions in your perception?

AJ helps us see that contemplative prayer is for everyone, no matter where you are in your spiritual journey. If you’re breathing, you’re capable of contemplative prayer.

AJ Sherrill is the lead pastor at St. Peter’s Church in Mt Pleasant, South Carolina and has more than twenty years of experience as a pastor. He is an adjunct professor at Fuller Theological Seminary, where he teaches popular courses on transformational preaching and the Enneagram. AJ receives many speaking requests to lead Enneagram workshops across the country and is the author of The Enneagram for Spiritual Formation and Being with God–which is his most recent book and deals specifically with Contemplative Prayer.
