Has the credit crunch affected the technology or construction budgets at houses of worship?
Dempsey: Smaller churches are affected more than those with large congregations. We are seeing retrofits as much or more than new construction. Carlson: We haven’t seen the economy affecting HOW technology budgets. If anything, budgets continue to go up. People are looking for production values, and they’ve been able to get them as some technologies like projectors get better as their prices decrease, allowing them to spend more money on switchers and cameras.
