PASTOR GENERAL'S
REPORT
TO THE MINISTRY OF THE
WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOO
VOL.2, N0.19
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA
NEW TV STUDIO IN TUCSON
by Herbert W. Armstrong
MAY 9, 1980
In my home in Tucson was a garage--originally a three-car garage,
but with the space of one car converted into a storeroom.
Now the entire space of the three-car garage has been converted into
a new TV studio and office. A special carport has been constructed just
outside the door of the new studio for the TV pod. As soon as the new
office desk and other furniture arrive, the combination office-and-TV
studio will be ready for operation.
On our third wedding anniversary, April 17, my wife gave me a new
super-size TV set, with a screen about two by three feet or larger.
This can be connected by remote TV with the auditorium in Pasadena.
During a Pasadena Church service, I will see on this enlarged screen the
audience in the Pasadena auditorium. The Portable TV cameras from the
pod will be on me. The Pasadena congregation will see me on a large movie
screen in the auditorium, and as I speak, I will also be facing the
Pasadena audience on my new enlarged TV screen. If the TV cameras in
the auditorium zoom in on some close-ups in the audience, I will see some
of our congregation larger than life size as I speak to them from Tucson.
It is remarkable what modern technology has produced, and I am a bit
excited about the fact that very soon I shall be speaking in my Tucson
home to the Pasadena auditorium congregation, and seeing the congregation
in front of me as I speak--while they shall be seeing me speaking on the
large movie screen in the auditorium--LIVE!
I suppose this same arrangement could be made with other congrega
tions, such as Chicago, Cincinnati, New York. However, it probably will
be much simpler and more advantageous if I use the G-II plane and go in
person to the churches in cities other than Pasadena, where all the
technical facilities are already built into the auditorium.
We are, however, working on plans so that I may speak from the
Tucson feast site to other feast sites live, come next feast.
