From a Baltimore Sun interview with the Bishop-elect for the #Episcopal Diocese of Maryland… not to be too picky, but it was in the pandemic that the bishop and the presiding bishop said put that cup away… and lock those church doors… and while we have a robust and flourishing Thursday compline (AThA or around 18-23), the vast majority of congregants either come on Sunday or stay home. The bishops and priests don’t seem to be able to drum up much virtual enthusiasm… #OnlineChurch #ChurchOnline

“ It made Colwell realize the church had been excluding people with accessibility challenges all along.”

Really…

Like the person who works on Sunday morning? Or the person without a car. Or the elderly with mobility issues. Or a person in hospital. Or the ill.

This sort of points at figuring out a way to stop making the building the sine que non of worship…

So last night we once again did an #OnlineChurch #NightPrayer. Next week it will be #BCP #Compline. We’re over 2 years of gathering the Thursday Community for a weekly service. A priest, a deacon, a deacon-in-the-program, a #Methodist #pastor. Folks from 3 different states, and 9 different churches. The last time I brought this up was under a different userid/instance.
I know this doesn’t fly with the institutional church, but I continue to maintain that #TEC is missing opportunities.

So maybe this is the wrong place and space, but have there been any further thoughts or discussions on Virtual Eucharist? I couldn’t find the folks to follow at GC, but think it’s a swell idea for the elderly, at risk, those in hospice, people doing eldercare, shift workers, etc… #MobilizeTheSacraments #VirtualEucharist #OnlineChurch #EqualAccessChurch #Episcopal #Eucharist

Attended an online high church baptist service on Sunday. Found the liturgy powerful http://southyarrabaptist.church/ #onlinechurch #baptist #liturgy

Todays #sermon was on Missio Dei and being involved in the #community. Made me think of online & #fediverse communities. Are we separating ourselves from the rest of the world by being on a Christian instance? Or is #thereslife an #onlinechurch where we "charge ourselves up" before going out?
What are (we/I/you) known for? how well are we known for it?
