The social distance caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, led to signifi cant changes in the logistics of the relationship between individuals, aiming to avoid contamination and the spread of the virus in the community. Thus, a series of prophylactic measures were adopted in order to maintain personal and community health. This context infl uenced several relationships: family, professional and ecclesial, which started to be developed commonly through virtual media. This article, using bibliographic theoretical capital as a methodology, studied the impact of this new relational economy, analyzing the legitimacy of an virtual community practice, bringing up the anthropological notion of the human body as a fundamental component for relational development, especially within the Christian community. After analyzing the mechanisms of social interaction exploited by the Internet, it was concluded that such logistics do not effectively fulfi ll Christian community purposes, except in times of exception, such as experiencing it today, because the body is fundamental for the occurrence of communion.
