Summary/Abstract: Live-stream broadcasts are nothing new, but they are certainly a challenge. We do not have studies to analyze the impact of liturgy and preaching via the Internet in the Romanian Orthodox space. This study is part of a series of studies published in recent years on the topic of preaching in the digital age. We believe that it is very important to be present in the virtual space, but more important is the quality of our presence. In the times we live in, times beneficial to preaching but also with challenges as only those in the Church of the first centuries, due to the presence of pagan faith and morality, it is necessary to find strategies commensurate with the nobility of the evangelical message. Along with the factual presence, a discipline is imposed, similar to the arcane discipline from the III-VI centuries. In the times of high technologies, of the digitalization of the public and private space, we propose to impose a disciplina arcani digitalis. This study is about efficiency and theological understanding in these times of missionary commitment in virtual space.
