I was only able to get to the very end of the meeting but saw that it was a fine (virtual) gathering, with an important exchange of E, S &H.
Online meetings are essential for many AA's who can't get to or who don't like F2F meetings. MIP is doing good service to AA principles by holding such meetings
John, thanks for taking the initiative to get the AA meetings rolling again. In the last year or so, seems like there was some inertia against getting the meetings occurring again -- possibly due to a strong bias for regular meetings. But the truthis that both regular meetings and online meetings can coexist in today's world of recovery. It's not a zero sum game.
I have a question: is the lord's prayer at the end a common AA thing? I have never heard it in my area.
In the U.S. it's very common, but nowhere near universal. Some areas/groups/meetings are adamantly opposed to the LP because of its Christian origin.
I hear the LP is used much less outside the U.S.
There has been a long-lasted tussle on this issue within AA. I think the pro-LP forces are winning at present. Overall, I mean. Each meeting does it the way they wish.
