Does God tweet?
By Rosie Perera | August 11, 2009 at 8:41 pm
There’s an interesting panel discussion on social media in today’s Washington Post “On Faith” column.
Thanks to new digital technologies, you can ‘tweet’ prayers via Twitter to the Western Wall or prayer requests to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. You can pray the rosary or pray the hours from your laptop. You can participate in worship services and discuss holy texts via Facebook. You can create and join faith communities on Second Life. Are social media tools a blessing or a curse for people of faith? Should we use digital technology to commune with the divine? Does God tweet?
Panelists responding to these questions include Robert Parham, Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz, Mathew N. Schmalz, Richard Mouw, Bob Edgar, Randall Balmer, Brad Hirschfield, Ramdas Lamb, David Wolpe, Herb Silverman, and Susan Jacoby.
