You An MMO Chaplain?

MMOs offer an incredible opportunity for healing ministry.

My brother is a big MMO player. Following a recent PG workshop, he was discussing a typical experience. Often, the action is a side note to the ongoing conversation via chat or Ventrilo. Players talk about their lives and can even go off into private chat rooms to discuss difficult situations they are in at home or at work. MMOs are about connection and community. The adventure is often secondary.

I had a thought. A chaplain is someone who listens. And God knows, all of us need a listening ear. How about a team of MMO chaplains? People with training who register for an MMO not to proselytize but simply to offer a listening ear to those in need. Some folks might decide to womp on you, but for the most part, I think folks would appreciate the service.

So, you being called to be an MMOC?
