Search scholarly and other literature about the subject you have selected. It would help if you chose a topic that greatly interests you and leads to a research study purpose that, when implemented, would potentially lead to an original contribution to scholarly research in an area of study. Possible studies examining the relationship between media and the church in some ways are seemingly endless. Pick something you care about that will be fun to study. Topic Selected is: FACEBOOK. With the increasing introduction of Facebook and its widespread adoption, it is crucial to understand how this digital tool influences religious practices, community dynamics, and religious engagement within the context of the church.
