LISTEN UP!Members of the congregation have recently posted on YouTube - click the button below - a reading of the entire Gospel According to Luke: Don Van Akker is the Reader, Chris Levan offers a Preface and Closing comments, and Chas Belknap is the Producer. Hopefully other books of the Bible will be offered in the future. “Often,” said Chas, “I hear scripture in short segments. By listening only to short segments, I miss the author’s sense of drama and their editorial intention. It helps me to occasionally read or hear an entire book.” The three-hour audio on YouTube has minimal visual imagery, the file is meant to be listened to, not watched. Listeners may be in meditation or engaged in a physical task that does not require attention. Obviously, few will listen to it in one sitting. The chapters are visually labeled so listeners can find their way when they return to the recording. YouTube was chosen as the platform because it is free, allows for long recordings, and is familiar to many. We have just begun this project and have much to learn. Your suggestions and comments are most welcome - please feel free to contact me. |
