In reply to Josef Prock.

Josef,

I'm glad to hear that you have been able to continue attending services online. There are significant concerns with online services, however. In addition to the letter above, I would commend for your listening this excellent interview with Dr. Joel Biermann, one of the LCMS's seminary professors. He does not approach the issue with a focus on personal freedoms or liberties, but what best serves the church.

Joy is approaching the question from the same concern.
