Peter Scales – Live-streamed – Lux Eterna
The covid-19 pandemic and Canada’s isolation response has caused all religious organizations to close their physical services. In Victoria some groups were ready for the change because they had already been broadcasting certain services. Other congregations have struggled to reach out. Religious and community leaders know that their function is as much pastoral (caring for the people) as it is theological (spreading and reinforcing the core messages of the faith), so not only pulpit/bima/mihrab services but also coffee chats and social gatherings are shifting to online. What do we want from our congregation(s) in normal times, and how does that change in pandemic time? How do we keep the chalice flame illuminated?
