Recording in the Chapel [Was Re: [Ldsoss] Shut-ins and the Sacrament Meeting]

[Kevin Wise]

Interestingly enough, there is an audio tape recorder built-in to our 
sound system in the chapel.  It's part of the setup at the sacrament 
table, I suppose so a priest can discretely start and stop the 
recording.  Our chapel is new (built in 2000) so this should be 
additional confirmation that audio recordings are allowed.
