TO ZOOM OR NOT TO ZOOM

In these waning pandemic days in America, many churches are keeping an online worship option going even as they reopen sanctuaries.  All good.

But Zoom worship is already drawing a median age similar to what we had in the building pre-Covid.  Most young adults are no more drawn to a Zoom church experience than they were to the services we had inside. In both cases, a particular paradigm of gathering easily gets conflated with what it means to be active in a church.
