Shifting Authority: Examining religious authority, digital culture and the Church of England

Описание: In the WACC Europe discussion on 21 October 2025, Matthew Batten, a communication and engagement professional, presented his research on shifting religious authority in digital culture, using the Church of England's Makin Review as a case study.

He explored the power dynamics between traditional religious structures and emerging digital platforms, explaining how new religious digital activists, skilled in navigating digital platforms and social media, have challenged institutional narratives and empowered survivors to share their stories, leading to a redistribution of credibility and transparency.
