Will Gene from Concordia Lutheran Church in Nashville be doing A/V for the conference? You might even consider trying to do a livecast of this conference. I can assure you, there'd be ample interest. Many who are unable to attend (myself included) are nonetheless extremely interested in the topic.
ReplyDeleteGene will be there. We are going to be doing a video of the Mass, which will be produced as an video explanation/teaching tool as a how to/why to the Common Service. Hopefully he will be do the sessions as well. Not sure about the live stream. Will have to look into this.
ReplyDeleteWhile a livestream would be pretty nifty, I'm thrilled to hear that at the very least there will be a video of the conference available. And that's great to hear re: the video of the mass. I've always felt that the best apologia for the the Lutheran liturgy is seeing/hearing (and, under normal circumstances, attending) the Common Service done right. People's antipathy towards "the liturgy" per se is often somewhat understandable when the only iteration of it that they've ever experienced is a slipshod, impatient, shuffling run-through-the-rite by a pastor who was never taught how to preside and has never really bothered to learn. There's nothing so beautiful and (truly) inspiring as a reverent Lutheran mass; there is nothing so stultifying and depressing as one which is poorly done.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the update.
Nice
