Casting Church Webcasts to TV
Last fall we upgraded our den tv to a "smart" tv with internet connectivity and Google's Chromecast feature.
While we enjoyed the built in apps on our smart tv I did not understand or use the Google "casting" feature until recently.
I was watching a church service on my chrome book when I noticed an icon in the bottom right corner of the screen that I did not recognize. When I put my mouse pointer on it I discoverd it was to "cast" what I was watching to another device, tv, etc. I clicked on it and a box came up showing the available devices to cast to and low and behold my smart tv showed up. When I clicked on it all of a sudden the webcast I was watching on my small chromebook was transferred to my 60" tv.
Of course the benefit of watching a webcast on a bigger screen is greatly affected by the quality of the webcast and your internet connection. As I type this I am watching the Pentecostals of Alexandria webcast live of their Sunday morning service. Apparently they recently updated both their video cameras and the quality of their web broadcast because it is widescreen high defintion and with awesome quality sound. I cast it to my 60" tv and it is as clear as any high definition regular tv channel.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
