Robin Mohr on the challenges and upsides to virtual worship:
People who have basic internet connectivity, and Friends who were previously isolated for health reasons, are now able to participate in worship. Friends who had moved away are coming back to visit. People who once didn’t have time for worship are showing up on Sunday mornings. The opportunity to visit with long-lost friends, or to visit Quaker meetings in faraway places, just got much easier. New people are finding their way to our meetings via Facebook and Instagram.
It’s true for me personally that I’ve been able to be more active in worship than before. My non-Quaker family is also participating more before, with nightly prayer meetings. It’s not the same as in-person fellowship but it’s not a horse of a different color.
In the age of social distancing, Quakers have quickly adapted to online worship
