I know a lot of you may not be particularly religious, but if you are, a question:
How is your place of worship dealing with services and maintaining community during lock-down? I'm an Episcopalian, and my own parish is live-streaming (via Facebook) Morning Prayer every Sunday and Noonday Prayer Monday through Friday. We are fortunate because just a few months before all this began, we called a new young rector with the technological savvy to pull this all together, aided by our even younger youth minister.
In addition, they are offering on-line community events on a regular basis, mostly using Zoom.
How are things at your church, synagogue, temple, or mosque?

We are seeing our Sunday service on YouTube. Interested congregation members are also having a Zoom meeting at 10:30 Sunday. My observation of zoom is that the first few sessions are interesting because of the technology,and the more you do it, the less interesting the meetings become. What we are doing is after service fellowship which in real life is you having a couple of conversations with friends and acquaintances not 16 different people all at once. And the conversation cannot be very personal such as you might have with a person suffering a loss of a family member. I am not condemning zoom, it certainly brings people together including people who normally could not come to Church. I don’t know if there will be a desire to zoom after we get back to in church services, whenever that is.
