Last Saturday, a live-streamed house fellowship was suddenly ended. The participants, belonging to a campus fellowship in China’s eastern-coastal Jiangsu Province, were forced to end their worship service on Tencent Meeting, a popular video conferencing service in China similar to Zoom.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many house churches choose to gather online for safety reasons. The leader of the 20-person unregistered fellowship said that several members told him that the Sunday service was discontinued once. He also revealed that the online service held by another fellowship was suspended three times.
The reason might be the frequent mention of the word “Christ” during the service, he added. He revealed that if more and more webcast gatherings are shut down, live-streaming service restrictions might be entering a more restricted phase.
The leader also said online gatherings are not as well attended as in-person worship. However, they have been the best alternative.
In regards to the future, he has no idea what the small fellowship should do in order to continue gathering online. Instead, he would take a wait-and-see attitude.
1. 您能具体分享下发生了什么吗？有您认识的人也遭遇了类似情况吗？
2. 您觉得在过程中是因为什么被feng的？您怎么看待此事件？
3. 您觉得之前通过腾讯聚会效果如何？
4. 接下来有什么打算吗？
5. 可以简单介绍下您的团契的基本情况
1，我们周六线上聚会，会议突然被关闭。莫名其妙的。
周日，好几个人反应，主日线上聚会被中断一次。是他人人断线三次
2，当时我们提到基督二字比较频繁，是否因为这个关键词被封就不得而知了。
目前只被中断一次，再开会议没有被封。但有弟兄反应他们连续三次中断。如果以后聚会都会被中断，说明针对线上聚会得整治进入新高度了。
3，线上聚会效果很差，弟兄姐妹参与度低。但也是最好的免费替代方案了。
4，我们规模小，看其他团队怎么安排吧，看看是否有新的替代方案，跟着大家走吧，自己也没有什么建设性的办法。
5，我们就算是一个青年小团契吧。我们就二十几人。
