The Blog as a Platform for Spiritual Heritaging and Family Reconciliation: A Case Study

This chapter features the case study of a Malaysian-Chinese blogger,
 Stark, who after migrating, blogged about her spiritual experiences back
 in Malaysia, including her conversion to Christianity and the subsequent
 estrangement from her parents. Through analysing this intersection of
 religion, the internet, and migration, the notion of authenticity in the
 practice of online religion can be explored. Online authenticity is a difficult
 element to measure, and is made more complicated when applied to a
 subjective matter like spirituality. The case study will demonstrate that
 the act of blogging serves the purpose of heritaging, spiritual catharsis,
 and communication with her parents, and thus infer a genuine spiritual
 activity that contributes to her still-developing religious identity.
