 Hi Rachel! I would not have guessed that when we began live streaming chapel for distant students last fall it would turn out to be such a grace. While the center of our gravity remained in Elkhart, our worshiping community here learned to attune itself to the Holy Spirit and connect with each other even when geography and time zones separated us. So when COVID-19 hit, students in my Christian worship class were much more prepared to lean into what Zoom chapel could be rather than trying to replicate in-person worship in a online format. In the final course evaluation one of them said before this semester I would have never suggested specifically addressing online worship. Going forward we will meet too. This is something we at AMBS do well. Create a community of practice where leaders learn to improvise thoughtfully in ever changing circumstances. I'm looking forward to teaching classes that I never thought I would teach online. I'm revising courses like preaching and biblical storytelling so the students can learn from a distance. As a teacher who draws on theater studies one of the issues I'm curious about is how preachers and biblical storytellers and even worship leaders can shift from the congregation in the room to a congregation that is gathered on Zoom. While I long for the days of in-person worship again there's a lot to be learned about the church, our faith and the good news as we worship online. AMBS professors deliver high quality theological education to students from many backgrounds and in many learning formats. Your gifts are essential in helping us continue to do this work.
