The more observant among you will have noticed that our Tuesday Tip and Friday Fill-in have become less frequent of late. This is partly due to the holiday season, but mainly to the handover of the role of New Media Manager at Church House Publishing from David Green to yours truly, Andrew Sweeney.<\/p>\n
Many of you will know David either personally or through his role as trainer, technical supporter, manager and all-round fount of wisdom on Visual Liturgy<\/em>, and we will all miss him; I know we all wish him well in his training. Thankfully, with David\u2019s departure, all is not lost. I was able to work alongside him for three weeks at Church House Publishing while he led me through a well-organised program of people to meet and things I needed to know, as well as teaching me as much as he could about the many aspects of his role.<\/p>\n The main interest for those of you in the Visual Liturgy<\/em> community is the new release of Visual Liturgy Live<\/em>, of course, and I\u2019m pleased to tell you that we\u2019re now testing the new release, due out later this year. Tim Anderson wrote a few weeks ago about the new smart templates for service planning, and in the next couple of weeks we\u2019ll be focussing on testing that.<\/p>\n In the meantime, I wanted to take an opportunity to say \u201cHello\u201d and \u201cThank You.\u201d That\u2019s \u201cHello\u201d to all those of you that I haven\u2019t yet met; I hope that over the next few months as we finalise and launch the new Visual Liturgy Live<\/em>, we will have chance to meet and talk about the new version. Imogen and I, supported by many others, will be out and about demonstrating and training, and listening to your feedback. Remember that one of the main features of the new Visual Liturgy Live<\/em> will be our ability to provide you with new features and content dynamically, so we\u2019re looking forward to hearing what\u2019s on your wish-list.<\/p>\n And the \u201cThank You\u201d is to those of you who have been so helpful while I get started; I\u2019ve been amazed and impressed by the amount of work that is done by the Visual Liturgy<\/em> community, as well as by Tim Anderson and his team, and Imogen and the rest of my colleagues here at CHP. It\u2019s very encouraging, and I\u2019m glad you all know as much as you do, and are willing to share it\u2026I\u2019m looking forward to meeting and working with you all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The more observant among you will have noticed that our Tuesday Tip and Friday Fill-in have become less frequent of late.
