Title
Website for Christ Church in Poughkeepsie, NY
Description
I have sent you a copy of the Christ Church website. It gives information about our church and its mission along with access to our newsletter and the YouTube videos of our services.
I am an ordained priest in the Episcopal Diocese of New York, retired from active service since 2012. When COVID-19 so radically interrupted our regular way of worship and community life, it was a great comfort to discover how we could in fact come together in worship by means of technology. I particularly appreciate our Rector, the Reverend Susan Fortunato, whose sermons are both apt and inspiring.

The introductory Youtube video from Reverend Susan Fortunato provides a high level capture of the impact of COVID-19 on a religious community. The website is also rich in it's reflection of the times - noting livestream links and sign ins for in person events to allow for contact tracing.
