social media help spread unitarian universalism > uuworld.org
It’s amusing to think of UUs “evangelizing.”
‘If a congregation isn’t sharing its good news through multiple channels, it may be missing out.’
When Melanie McCullough sits at her computer in Capistrano Beach, California, looking up Emerson quotes to send out on Twitter, she is doing ministry—just like the Rev. Dr. Matt Tittle in Houston, when he engages with fundamentalists on his religion blog, and the Rev. Nate Walker in Philadelphia, who podcasts his sermons to hundreds of people be yond his congregation.Unitarian Univer salists are enthusiastically embracing social media, described as spaces on the Internet where people can hold public conversations. We, who have been forever shy about evangelizing, are now avidly promoting our religion on Facebook, Meetup, blogs, MySpace, Ustream, podcasts, Flickr, YouTube, and Twitter.
