Abstract

The articles has the purpose ofanalyzing the process of re-signification of the church community in the face of the pandemic through the practice of liturgy and biblical teaching. The investigation chooses the following: in what way does the use of technology re-signify the liturgical practice of worship and teaching of the church communitywithout modifying the biblical base of the message to be communicated? To carry out the investigation, bibliographic, interpretive and exploratory research is adopted. After all, we are dealing with a new phenomenon that involves the need to develop in-depth knowledge of the data collected. This indicates that this study has an introductory character and that it can be the object of future investigations, in order to revisit the considerations presented here. Certainly, the chosen methodological-theoretical path intends to bring some reflections on this scenario of pandemic and the response of the church community to it. It is considered that there is no way to escape from the sketched scenario, so it is necessary for the church communities to rethink its processes, structures and organization referring to liturgical practices and biblical teaching, in the sense that they correspond to the constituted demands so that, at the same time, they can improve flows and give new meaning to the way they communicate and develop their mission in the social reality.
