YouTube Users To Attend Sermons Online
By: Priyanka Pradhan   |   Jan 16,2007

Users of Video sharing site, YouTube.com will soon be able to access Christian sermons on worship services, due to the efforts by Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams.

According to the Telegraph (UK), the Church of England aims to counter the dwindling presence of youth and churchgoers with its 'Fresh Expression initiative' to reach the Internet generation via YouTube. The church also plans to upload another video on YouTube later this month, urging other churches to adopt the contemporary style of their services.

A Lambeth Palace spokesman told the paper, "The potential of YouTube is enormous. It provides limitless access to what any minister has to say. You have to preach where people are listening."

Church of England has lost nearly eight per cent of its worshipers between 2000 and 2002. Since YouTube sees upto100 million clips daily and over 20 million visitors each month, Rev Steve Croft, team leader of Fresh Expressions, says the popular video sharing site could provide the perfect way to reach teenagers.

Also, the Bishop of Lichfield has posted a message YouTube to encourage more people to attend Sunday services. He also called for support for a national Back to Church Sunday campaign in September which will invite local people to give their churches another try.
