Bethany Video Worship Services To Start



"We'll have this purring in no time."


We are working on fine points of the Bethany Lutheran Church video services. We have an account set up for video streaming. Anyone with cable or DSL will be able to watch and listen by clicking on a link.

The service will be designed for people to participate, except we cannot feed everyone's responses into this kind of system. Those who have used teleconferencing know it is tricky with latency when people are singing and responding.

We can do video conferences easily across Oovoo.com, with a small group.

Interest is high, from the West Coast to the East Coast. No, not millions of people, but a number of traditional (but stranded) Lutherans.

Why do people feel alienated from the synods? A lot of us are like the farmer, taking his wife into town in the pickup. She said, "Why Bill, we never sit close together like we used to when we first met."

He answered, "I ain't moved."
