The Covid-19 pandemic forced many churches into a digital experiment. When lockdowns and health and safety regulations prevented churches from meeting in person, they were pushed into novel forms of technical engagement. The move toward online services required churches to make many modifications to their worship, altering many traditional liturgical elements and practices. These changes created both unease and excitement for members of the congregations, as well-established rituals and service structures adapted to a technologically mediated environment and the confines of the digital screen. This article examines some of the most common ways con-gregations were forced to change or rethink the liturgical elements of their services during the Covid-19 pandemic as they transitioned to online services. First, we highlight the initial challenges that congregations faced in moving from offline, traditional services to new, online services. Then we consider what type of challenges were most consistent in terms of how the digital shift raised liturgical or theological questions. Finally, we reflect on the potential liturgical implications of the most common choices and strategies made by congregations during the pandemic. These issues are considered in light of findings from the “Tech in Churches During Covid-19 Project,” a three-year research study of 2,700 Indiana churches that made a transition to digital worship services during the pandemic. Funded by the Lilly Endowment and in collaboration with the Center for Congregations in Indianapolis, these churches were able to secure grants that were used to purchase key equipment for online streaming purposes. The data from these churches provide unique insights not only on the short-term challenges that online worship created but also on the potential long-term implications of the liturgical choices and modifications made.
Covid-19 大流行迫使许多教会进行数字实验。当封锁和健康与安全规定阻止教会亲自聚会时，他们被推向了新颖的技术参与形式。向在线服务的转变要求教会对其崇拜进行许多修改，改变许多传统的礼仪元素和惯例。这些变化让会众既不安又兴奋，因为既定的仪式和礼拜结构需要适应以技术为媒介的环境和数字屏幕的限制。本文探讨了在 Covid-19 大流行期间，教会在过渡到在线礼拜时被迫改变或重新思考礼拜仪式元素的一些最常见方式。首先，我们强调了会众在从离线、传统礼拜转向新的、在线礼拜时所面临的最初挑战。然后，我们考虑在数字化转变如何引发礼仪或神学问题方面，哪类挑战最为一致。最后，我们反思了教会在大流行期间最常见的选择和策略对礼仪的潜在影响。这些问题是根据 "19 科威德期间教会中的技术项目"（Tech in Churches during Covid-19 Project）的研究结果考虑的，该项目对印第安纳州 2,700 所教会进行了为期三年的调查研究，这些教会在大流行期间过渡到了数字崇拜仪式。在礼来捐赠基金（Lilly Endowment）的资助下，这些教会与印第安纳波利斯会众中心（Center for Congregations in Indianapolis）合作，获得了用于购买在线流媒体关键设备的补助金。来自这些教会的数据不仅为在线崇拜带来的短期挑战提供了独特的见解，也为礼仪选择和修改可能带来的长期影响提供了独特的见解。

It might be a slight exaggeration to say that anybody with an iota of musical gifting—from the singer-songwriters to the person who shakes the tambourine in your church’s worship band—has a worship CD that they’re either promoting on their Web site or selling out of the trunk of their car. But the exaggeration would only be slight, for sure. Over the last decade, worship music has become the fastest-growing category of music within the world of contemporary Christian music (or “CCM”) effectively displacing all other musical subgenres. 22

Theology and new media are two fields that are rapidly evolving and intersecting in significant ways. On one hand, new media platforms provide unprecedented opportunities for religious communities and individuals to connect, communicate, and engage with each other. On the other hand, the rise of digital technology raises important theological questions about the nature of religious authority, the authenticity of religious experiences mediated through technology, and the potential for new media to exacerbate existing divisions and inequalities within and between religious traditions. 1
