On Tuesday 26 April at 7pm we're holding an open meeting to discuss live-streaming. It's open to as many people who wish to join, the meeting will be held on zoom, chaired by Joy with notes taken and circulated.
At present we have an arrangement in place which allows for alternative filming of the 9.15am and 11.00am services. This will be reviewed by the PCC in June. There have been a number of technical issues with live-streaming of the 9.15am service, which is why the open meeting is set for late April, to allow for these issues to be resolved and a fairer assessment of the 9.15am livestream.
We recognise that within the congregation there continues to be polar opposite views: those who feel uncomfortable with live-streaming and would like it to cease and those who appreciate being able to join services remotely. There are also people who do not hold strong views either way, whilst being sympathetic to those who do.
The previous open meeting in February was designed for people to speak and to listen. However, towards the end the participants expressed a desire to be part of finding a solution. This second meeting in April will focus on finding a solution that hopefully can be recommended to the PCC.
