Sunday Reflection: Social Media and Faith
This morning's sermon at First Covenant is about Paul-- specifically, his work as described in Acts 24 and 26, where he argues his case before Judeo-Roman authorities.
I was talking about this earlier in the weekend with Deanne Thompson, a professor of religion and culture (she was the other responder to Randall Balmer last night). She had a fascinating observation: That those who criticize the use of social media by faith communities probably should consider the example of Paul. Of course he used the social media of his time, writing letters to the fledgling churches, where those letters were read and discussed by the congregations.
The more things change, the more they stay the same...
