“Positivity is key,” said Bishop Darryl S. Brister, the Senior Pastor of the Beacon Light International Baptist Cathedral in Gentilly.
To comply with social distancing measures encouraged by Mayor LaToya Cantrell, Brister said that Beacon Light’s staff are producing performances and sermons to be broadcast on platforms like Facebook and YouTube.
“Our social platforms have given us the ability to touch the whole world,” said Larry Jones, the Membership Pastor at Beacon Light, on the success of online streaming for churches.
