Re: Russ's virtual congregation.........
Praying through the internet? Thats a new one on me. I suppose it feels a void, cause a lot of people can't get to church a a specifed time. It would be nice if they get a really progressive vicar to run it. The chaplain at my school was a real nice bloke. Hilarious too. For the catholics, you could do confessions by webcam as well.

Re: Russ's virtual congregation.........
Nothing wrong with prayer through the web, as long as the message gets through. Remember, a 'church' is a collective of people, not just a building

Don't see the point in that really, seeing as in a Confessional Box, you're meant to be hidden anyway.....

Well, you need some way to interact with the priest. You would point the camera away and just use the mic. I'm guessing merely typing would be a bit too empty for priests/confessees

In which case they could just use that old-fashioned device called a tele-phone.....
Or even just do what the Bible actually says and confess their sin to Jesus...

I didn't know you could confess by phone. But I suppose not being catholic I wouldn't.

Re: Russ's virtual congregation.........
I don't think you can either, but doing it via webcam with the cam turned away as you suggested....isn't that the same as talking on the phone???

You could put a curtain over the cam.
