The Tweets of the Christ
…
I’ve got a new little piece at Religion Dispatches this morning about last Friday’s Twitter passion play hosted by Trinity Church, that ancient place located at the top of Wall Street.
“If you look in the scripture,” explains Linda Hanick, Trinity’s V.P. of communications and marketing, “the last words of Jesus are almost written in Tweets, less than 140 characters.” Okay, so maybe they’re a match made in heaven.
