Abstract
The desire for spiritual experiences, particularly religious rituals, further increased during the pandemic. Through a netnographic examination, this study explains how consumer-congregants of a London-based megachurch renegotiated their spiritual experience and ritual space to create new ‘living-room’ and ‘cyber’ rituals, using the social media platforms as ritual carriers.
