Want a second go at life?

second life chance

This is the poster that you will see on UK railway stations inviting people to church this Christmas. It has been done by the Churches Advertising Network and includes the web address for secondlifechance.co.uk, which in fact is the Rejesus website heavily disguised with makeup and a false beard. Rejesus is the website about Jesus made by Simon and Bruce.

The seconfdlifechance.co.uk website will, as previously mentioned, have a link to a special area on ‘Second Life’, the 3d website for people who like that sort of thing. The link doesn’t seem to be live yet, but you can see what the Second Life bit will look like by perusing these pictures.

Update: The Times has a report on this today too. There’s a thing.

    Not sure what it’s about. It looks American and commercial. Couldn’t see any obvious link with Chrisitianity at http://secondlife.com/ which I arrived at after clicking the link from http://www.secondlifechance.co.uk/

    Karin – there is no link. Second life is an alternative internet existance programme thingy where lots of people waste lots of time pretending to be someone else. This advert is trying to link into those people.

    My first reaction was agggggg

    What I meant to say was that Second life is not a christian thing.

    There was a link but what it took me to didn’t seem to be a Christian thing.

    I am now even more confused about the purpose of the advert but perhaps it is trying to attract people who like Second Life to Christianity although I am not sure how, but perhaps there will be new improved links in the future. I’ve never really seen the point of Rejesus anyway – or perhaps I just don’t agree with the point.

    Never heard of Second Life – at least on Facebook you can only waste lots of time being yourself, not that I do, of course. ;)

    Greetings! I lead the Anglican Community in Second Life that presently has around 230 members and growing. We have services each sunday and are in the process of starting Bible studies and social activities. It is still early days, but we are finding this is meeting a need within the burgeoning social network environment of SL. But also, and this is key, many such as Bill Gates, see the next step of internet development as being from the present 2D to the 3D virtual. So I am attempting to position the church amidst the development, rather than playing catch up as is the case with much of the chronically late adopting that happens around the church.
