Policy on Photography & Social Media

Communicating through social media helps our efforts to build community and expand our reach to people who are new to Emmanuel, as well as to Emmanuelites around the world. Volunteers help spread the Word by taking photos before, during and after services, posting and sharing online.  We value the sanctity of our worship and aim to strike a balance between sharing life at Emmanuel and creating a sacred space for all, filled with wonder, love, thanksgiving and praise. No one will be tagged or identified by name in a photo without their permission and other privacy wishes will be respected on request. If you are interested in helping in these efforts or have concerns please see a vestry member after the service.                           –Approved by our Vestry in 2016

Social Media

Our vestry developed a policy on Photography & Social Media, which is printed in the weekly announcements, in This Week at Emmanuel, and above.

Website

We’ve noted increases in traffic of visitors to some key areas of our site, but acknowledge that visitation in general was down. We met most of our goals for updating the site, adding content, and continuing to improve our processes. Please contact our webmaster (webmaster@EmmanuelBoston.org) with any concerns or suggestions.
