Considering the different elements of the community’s experience when gathered together for the liturgy is something all the more relevant in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and ‘online worship.’ This will be a fascinating conference, filled with engaging speakers, panel discussions, liturgical art tours, prayer and time for interaction between participants, speakers and monks.
