Evangelists watch over flock by CCTV

An evangelical, non-denominational church which has nearly 700 members from 32 countries is going hi-tech to deliver the word of God to its flock.

The Cork Church — which has recently spent “a substantial sum” on a new 25,000 sq ft place of worship, leased from Siptu at Connolly Hall — is providing instant translations to Russian members of its flock.

In a reversal of the Old Testament story of the Tower of Babel, it also has advanced plans to provide the service to its French, Portuguese, Polish, and Spanish-speaking congregation.
