I went to church in the metaverse: article read-through
- Can church work in the metaverse, and what would legitimate virtual ministry look like?
A host reads from an article by a woman who bought a Meta Quest 2 headset and visited three VR church campuses: Life.Church VR (Craig Groeschel's campus, with Herbert Cooper's prerecorded message on feeling abandoned by God and VR campus pastor Steven Roberts), Lakeland Community Church (Stuart McPherson's waterfront campus), and Faith Church in Missouri (Obed Martinez preaching 'your condition is not your conclusion'). The hosts note the streamed-video campuses felt better staffed than the generic AltSpace-style room.
