Physicality is part of wholeness
“For me, being a ‘whole person’ includes physical embodiment, emotional engagement and intimate relationships with family and friends, and in the physical place where I am. I therefore by definition cannot be a ‘whole person’ in social media. You only see a small (and to me relatively unimportant) part of the wholeness of body, place and relationships that is me. And in particular you only see the intellectual, rational, language-limited part of me…
If you want to get to know me, you need to come to our (to know me is to know my wife, Chriss) home and share food and drink, and join us in worship, and walk with us in our neighbourhood and meet our friends.”
