Interworship Forum Contributors
Interworship Forum Contributors are a non-membership category of World AWAKE. The InterWorship Forum is a new and evolutionary concept in on-line interfaith worship and spiritual outreach on a global level. Anyone connected to the internet from anywhere in the world will have access to the world's worship services. We see this as a powerful tool for interfaith education and understanding, one that promotes world peace. Through this forum, spiritual seekers, those affiliated with a congregation and those who are not, will have an opportunity to worship, learn and explore via their digital devices, from the comfort and convenience of wherever they may be. Interfaith seminaries and other educational institutions may use this forum as a teaching aid. As a member of the InterWorship Forum, World Awake supports and promotes your organization in the following ways:
- We feature videos of your worship services and events via YouTube on the InterWorship section of our website.
- We promote your services and events, including videos, on all of World Awake's Social Media.
- World Awake will feature announcements and links of your services and events in our Newsletters.
- Your events, services and video links will be promoted on the calendar section of our website.
- Having your featured videos available and accessible 24/7 provides additional exposure to your organization around the world
- In joining the InterWorship Forum, you are instantly connected to a global network of people and organizations who promote peace and healing. You will be welcomed at our spiritual retreats and our zoom networking sessions. At these sessions we share ideas as to how we can better support one another. We encourage our members to share their needs in order to better support their efforts for good.
Requirements
We prefer all videos to be hosted in your spiritual organization's YouTube account. Here is the easy 4 step process that is needed.
- Create a new YouTube account or use an existing YouTube account at https://www.youtube.com.
- Create a YouTube Playlist. A Playlist is much like selecting a few songs from your entire music list. It is the same with videos. You may title your videos as to the type of service. For example, you may list specific holiday/holy days services.
- Send World AWAKE your link to your Playlist.
- Continue to add to that same Playlist of your specific videos you are desiring, i.e. Sunday Services, Keynote talks, etc.
We require a YouTube Playlist instead of a YouTube Channel to allow for specific videos to be displayed rather than all videos displayed. The image below indicates the PlayList selection in YouTube.
If you are in need of help to create your Youtube account, create or upload videos, Mike Schienle with Custom Visuals, LLC may be able to assist you. Mike is our World AWAKE Webmaster.
Fee: $75.00 annually (term begins at enrollment date and runs for a full year)
Category: Non-Membership
Questions: How many videos can be shared to each spiritual organization, church or affiliation?
Answers: If your organization has a YouTube account established, then World AWAKE can share the videos from that Playlist as they are added. We provide 4 entries from your Playlist at the top of your listing on World AWAKE’s website. We provide a subsequent link to a page listing up to 50 of your Playlist videos. This depends on how many videos are in your Playlist.
