From The Christian Science Board of Lectureship

From the March 1994 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Question: We just had a wonderful lecture at our church, and one of our members taped it. We were wondering if we could use that as a radio lecture.

There is a marked difference between a talk prepared for a live audience and one produced for broadcast. As an example, consider the difference between attending a play in a theater and hearing the same play adapted for radio. The content may be similar, but the method of presentation and production is vastly different. Also, unless the person who did the recording is a professional audio engineer with broadcast standard equipment, the tape quality alone would probably not meet broadcast requirements. Taping of lectures is generally discouraged, except for special reasons, which branch churches should discuss with the lecturer. The content and presentation of the lecture are the lecturer's property, so decisions about its use rest with the lecturer.
