As Lockdown eases we begin look to a future where churches services will once again be able to take place, in one form or another, within our church buildings.
How might we take what we have learnt about doing church online and carry this into the future?
How might mixed-mode service delivery, where services take place in buildings, but are also accessible to those who cannot attend physically, be possible?
What opportunities does this present us with and what are the challenges we need to recognise and navigate within this?
Please join us for a conversation about the future and to share your experiences and reflections.
21st July 2020
14.00 – 15.30
This Zoom seminar is aimed at Incumbents and those responsible for planning worship. Attendance is ideally limited to one person per benefice as this is a conversation not a webinar and we want to allow space for all to contribute and discuss the issues concerned.
