Second Life is a new phenomena in the internet realms. Evangelicals are already quite busy in SL, we catholics can’t stay behind. Anyone here has good ideas to bring the propaganda fidëi to SL?🙂
 
Second Life is a ‘social’ online game where players create their own content. It’s been making news for a little while, with various businesses starting online shops in the game world, Reuters opening a bureau in-game, and so forth… but the rest of it is basically the absolute worst the internet has to offer, in concentrated form.

All I can say is… good luck :bigyikes:
 
Indeed like every other internet medium, and facet of human existance, SL does have the worst of the worst nicely packaged and accessible. However, just like all our other evangelistic efforts that should not stop us from trying to transform our world.
Code: 
 For a successful ministry in SL, I would propose two prongs of approach. The first would be something along the lines of a Catholic Evidence Guild a real person bureau of presenters who would host seminars and Q & A Sessions. The second would be informational kiosks that could distribute the equivalent of printed material for reading. The nice thing too is in SL you can have links to websites etc... 

 I can help I think with making the kiosks. For the bureau, I would recommend forming a group where you can get people to donate their land allowance so that a decent parcel of "land" can be owned and a virtual lecture hall built with some method of moderating Q & A. There are many people who can help develop the hall and system for the in-game currency.

 The problems faced will be the same Catholic ministries have faced elsewhere: Vandalism, mobbing, etc... The good news is that with proper planning it should be far easier to recover from such attacks in a virtual world.

 If anyone is interested in pursuing this send a message to Cdm014 Breed in-game.
 
Ha ha ha I never though I would hear about SL here. Water I can tell you they would not be advertising here. Its is not exactly thier desired market.

I think this could be a good idea though. Im not exactly a good Catholic Apologetic, but I can help in design and script writing if need be. (I only have dial up at my house now, but I will be upgrading at the end of next month which is when I probably be able to help you if you needed it.) I also have some friends in the furry worlds and they have been there since it started, they might have some spare land, Ill ask. though the CA on duty will be surronded by furries and wow talk about the final frontier of Christianity.😃
 
It’s a good idea.

Just make sure you preserve an element of fun, because otherwise you’ll only be visited by overly serious cranks. 🙂 People don’t have to visit you; you have to make them want to.

I’m not familiar with the game but if its an MMO game then maybe something like Theology on Tap?
