#ChSocM Chat Transcript: 3/19/13: Called to Minister With Social Media

We chatted about church social media as a ministry 
& our experiences as ministers who use it, 
Using the "priesthood of all believers" definition of "ministers."

Remember: No chat on Tuesday, March 26. 
Have a blessed Holy Week.

@pastordan re: can't do #socialmedia as #SM - I suggest scrolling back through @c_of_e acct. lots of interaction by it + it's bodies #chsocm

@MeredithGould @sethhinz I don't expect 2 much interaction. As @pastordan sez, at his level that's hard. But it felt canned. #chsocm

T3a How are or should expectations be different for church leadership at the top levels (e.g., PB, pope, ABC)? #chsocm

RT @paulsteinbrueck: @chsocm T3: Even better... just tweet as @PopeSMIntern rather than as the pope. Be who u is. #chsocm

T3a I think there still needs to be some level of "engagement" since technology is not going away. #chsocm

T3a Of course, the higher up you go, expectations of personal response diminish. But you can still use SM to reveal who you are. #chsocm

T3a For episcopal polities, pressure is higher for more "authoritarian" approach. Not so much for presbyterian. #biased #chsocm

T3a - problem with that '?' is that social media undermines the hierarchy ... complicating the whole situation #chsocm

T3a: It is a platform. Current leaders may not be brought up on #SM. They ought 2 be smart enough 2 hire capable people who get it. #chsocm

@pastordan Unless you're hired by a church/judicatory to help them learn how to use #chsocm. Then absolutely strategize! They usually can't!
Tuesday March 19, 2013 10:05 chsocm
 
 

The topics:
T1:  How are you being called to use social media for ministry? How has this changed since you first started using #chsocm?
T2:  Thinking about your own engagement w/social media, how could it be used as a tool for discernment?
T2a: T2a Do you find yourself in conversations via social media that help you clarify what you're doing/believing?
Switching into fun gear for T3: 
T3: What’s your best social media counsel for @Pontifex and @ABCJustin@c_of_e? What works? What doesn’t/hasn’t?

This week's chat moderated by Meredith Gould (@meredithgould)
