SUMMARY:International Day of Unplugging
DESCRIPTION:In the USA\, the Reboot Network initiated the National Day of Unplugging to encourage people to unplug\, unwind\, relax and do things other than using digital technology\, electronics and social media for twenty four hours beginning at sundown on the first Friday in March. It builds on the Sabbath Manifesto which draws on and adapts the Jewish tradition of the Sabbath. \n\n\n\nAs Christians in Australia\, we can also reflect on the meaning for today’s world of the commandment to keep the Lord’s day holy. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church says: \n\n\n\nGod’s action is the model for human action. If God ‘rested and was refreshed’ on the seventh day\, we too ought to ‘rest’ and should let others\, especially the poor\, ‘be refreshed’. The sabbath brings everyday work to a halt ad provides a respite. It is a day of protest against the servitude of work and the worship of money. Catechism of the Catholic Church\, n 2172.\n\n\n\nDo we need rest and respite from digital technologies? Might we at times fall into servitude or even worship of social media? \n\n\n\nFind out more about the Sabbath Manifesto and the National Day of Unplugging here.
