THE (ALMOST) LOST ART OF HOLY CONFERENCING

Earlier this week, I was on a Zoom with a church council meeting from a different time zone - meaning that it started at 10 pm at night (from where I was).  In addition, I was visiting family with very sketchy wifi - so it is a miracle that I heard anything at all of the meeting. People froze and unfroze the whole time.  Further, it was a meeting that ran out of its intended 75 minute bounds, pushing to nearly 2 hours.  If all of that doesn’t sound bad enough, the major agenda item was a debate on what to do about the church’s mask policy as the pandemic slowly subsides locally.
