Synopsis

How can I be a witness in a space that is everywhere, somewhere, and nowhere?
This is a question I ask myself as I straddle both sides of the physical and digital worlds. No, I don’t have all the answers, but I want to critically examine what are the key issues we face. I do believe that we need to be social influencers for Christ, shining a light in both worlds and offer unity in an ever increasingly fragmented, hyperconnected, and individualized world. Yes, our mission hasn’t changed. And no, we cannot refuse this mission. We are to be and bring the light to the dark corners of our phygital world, be counter-cultural, and make a difference. This course looks at the ethos of the times, our social responsibilities as netizens, and how to use the tools to serve our God. As an artist, art lover, and a Christian, this course will use these lenses to examine and engage with key issues.

Biodata

Lucilla Teoh graduated from Trinity Theological College with a MDiv in 2009. She also holds a Master in Fine Arts and a Diploma in Education. Lucilla has been actively involved in the local theatre in almost all aspects and film scenes (acting in 12 Storeys and initiating the Singapore Film Commission). She still has a healthy curiosity in developments of all aspects of the arts, including the realm of cyberspace, and is concerned that what goes on in the internet cannot be ignored by Christians—the good, the bad, and the ugly. As an educator, she seeks to encourage students to engage in issues and to evolve their own ethos and operational theology. Lucilla worships at St James’ Church, serving in the library and the visitation ministries. She is currently the part-time administrator for the Anglican Lay Training programs under St Peter’s Hall. She has previously been a JC teacher, lecturer at La Salle School of the Arts, parish worker at St James’s Church, and was handling communications for the Diocese of Singapore and Singapore Anglican Community Services.
