Today I’m honored to share one of the recorded sessions from the 2020 Virtual Convention. The following session was one of four sessions in NPM’s “Black Lives Matter” series during the convention, led by an incredible team across the span of the week. Two of these sessions, along with other topics celebrating the Black Catholic community, can be found in the “Series and Themes” area on our website. We are proud to celebrate Black Catholic Voices and will continue to share what we can, listen and learn so all can truly be at the table together.

Today on the podcast we are discussing “the environment of our worship”. Many churches across the United States use projection screens to enhance the environment of worship, primarily for its increased participation and awareness of the church space. But are projection screens right for everyone? Has the technology changed at all since projection has been introduced? And how would one begin to implement this method of ministry?

Imagine you’re stepping into your church for the very first time.

What do you see? What do you hear? What do you smell?

What do you feel?

Today we start to explore the environment of our worship and the many elements that we experience in our sacred space. I speak to Pamela T. Hardiman who owns her own business as a Liturgical Fiber Artist. Her creations are filled with color, life and the Spirit, and her artistic mind sees environment in our worship spaces in a totally unique way.
