With so many churches live-streaming, the decision on communion comes to the forefront.
On a whim, we asked Dr. Michael Svigel, department chair of theological studies at Dallas Seminary, if he’d come on to live stream an episode of our podcast. Dr. Svigel had argued that churches could replicate many things, but communion was not one of them.
Dr. Svigel said he would do it, but only if Dr. John Dyer, dean of enrollment services and distance education at Dallas Seminary (also a coding ninja), would join. Dr. Dyer writes on the intersection of theology and technology. Last week he wrote about historic views of communion as well as how churches approach participating in communion online.
Graciously, and on short notice, both came on to discuss, and the conversation was incredibly helpful.
