On Sunday, I attended a local township church in Soshanguve, marking my return after a year-long break. Typically, I would attend a church in Pretoria Central, and as expected, the experiences between the two differed.
One notable observation is that township churches are evolving with the times. They have established channels for people to join online sermons by recording videos and taking pictures during live services.
While I believe a church is a sacred place for praising and worshiping God, the recent trend of sharing and broadcasting during preaching, singing, and praising times raises a concern. It might become uncomfortable for some worshippers when they realize cameras are constantly capturing their moments of worship and prayer.
As children of God, spreading the word is important. There are many ways to achieve this by; sharing a scripture or a video explaining its meaning. Yes, we are in the 21st century, and young people find inspiration and encouragement through visuals like photos and videos.
The question that lingers is: should churches broadcast during worship?
