Presbyterian co-pastors ‘fill the church’ with members’ photographs during livestreamed services

Posted June 16th, 2020

There’s no need to have an empty church on Sunday mornings, even in the midst of coronavirus social distancing directives. Co-pastors Tami Seidel and Chip Low of First Presbyterian Church of Yorktown, New York, aren’t encouraging disobedience to stay-at-home orders. Rather, they’ve placed photos of church members in the pews for them to look out on as they offer livestreamed Sunday morning services from the church sanctuary.
