9:15	MeredithGould:  T1 Lent has a different type of energy than Advent. Agree w/@cvdavies & think there will be a push among people to abstain #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:15 MeredithGould

9:16	edkay77:  @rev_david Have fun - say HI to Peggy Contos Hahn if you see here from me! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:16 edkay77

9:16	Denise205:  @cvdavies True, some people will go offline for #Lent, but for those that don't, let's be ready. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:16 Denise205

9:16	reedsmith:  arriving late. #hcmktg guy by day... just here to check things out. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:16 reedsmith

9:16	smshepherds:  @cvdavies I bet you're totally right. Giving up FB is way more powerful than chocolate or soda. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:16 smshepherds

9:16	MeredithGould:  @reedsmith Great to see you here! #hcmktg #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:16 MeredithGould

9:16	11oclockscholar:  T1 Would love to find YouTube videos to brighten my Adult Forum discussions for Lent, but I so dread searching through all that #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:16 11oclockscholar

9:16	episcotheque:  T1: my 20s/30s group is coordinating a #Lenten devotional for/with the parish via a WP blog. I have high hopes. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:16 episcotheque

9:17	MeredithGould:  T1 I wonder if those who are all keen about "giving up" FB will also give up other social media, like blogging? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:17 MeredithGould

9:17	ReBootFaith:  abstaining is kind of nice-it pushes people to use other kinds of communication to meet the needs being met by the abstained media #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:17 ReBootFaith

9:17	reckshow:  @chickpastor trying to sort out the same thing for @aNunsLife . For Advent used the Jesse Tree/O Antiphons. #lent #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:17 reckshow

9:17	edkay77:  At the Synod level, we've done daily prayer and some brief study via FB in the past - not sure if we're going to be doing it again. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:17 edkay77

9:17	paulsteinbrueck:  RT @Denise205: T1: How can we help people experience the season of #Lent through social media? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:17 paulsteinbrueck

9:17	reedsmith:  @MeredithGould glad to be here... Interesting topics #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:17 reedsmith

9:18	Denise205:  @11oclockscholar What kinds of videos in particular? Our group can help you brainstorm. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:18 Denise205

9:18	mattlipan:  T1: intentional daily engagement whether it be fb, blog, etc. #chsocm #lent [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:18 mattlipan

9:18	chickpastor:  @reckshow Yes...maybe Bonhoeffer? Need a motivation each day, and loved the O Antiphons! My advent was sorta random. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:18 chickpastor

9:19	cvdavies:  @MeredithGould & why do ppl feel the need to give up SM during lent? As if it's so sinful or distracting from their spiritual lives #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:19 cvdavies

9:19	JourneyLenten:  T1 Follow us...to help you Keep on Runnin' through the 40 days of Lent. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:19 JourneyLenten

9:19	episcotheque:  Daily Episcopalian from last #Lent: "More Facebook for Lent!" http://bit.ly/eTtDGF #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:19 episcotheque

9:19	edkay77:  I was really impressed with @episcomd efforts during Lent - any plans for this season @revweb? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:19 edkay77

9:19	reckshow:  @cvdavies I think it's about fasting - giving up something you enjoy, replace it with prayer/study. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:19 reckshow

9:20	ReBootFaith:  @mattlipan "T1: intentional daily engagement" so that sounds good--what would that look like? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:20 ReBootFaith

9:20	reckshow:  @chickpastor Maybe an extended Stations of the Cross type thing? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:20 reckshow

9:21	mattlipan:  T1: what if we encourage people to engage sm more during #lent as opposed to less? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:21 mattlipan

9:22	Denise205:  @reckshow @cvdavies and the distraction of socmedia may be taking some away from other things, depending on how used #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:22 Denise205

9:22	cvdavies:  That's an idea! RT @mattlipan: T1: what if we encourage people to engage sm more during #lent as opposed to less? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:22 cvdavies

9:22	theologybird:  @reckshow @chickpastor Maybe an extended Stations of the Cross type thing? // sounds interesting #ChSocM [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:22 theologybird

9:22	reckshow:  @chickpastor also, plenty of art you could use to supplement it. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:22 reckshow

9:22	chickpastor:  T1 Giving up SM now is like giving up the phone used to be for many. Almost impossible bc it's how we communicate. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:22 chickpastor

9:24	mattlipan:  @paulsteinbrueck good point. *meaningful* use of sm is key. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:24 mattlipan

9:24	MeredithGould:  T1 I believe the power of #chsocm for teaching far outweighs the so-called value of abstaining from social media for Lent. [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:24 MeredithGould

9:24	mattlipan:  i agree. no. // RT @iammerrilegs: .@MeredithGould @mattlipan is giving up social interaction really the best sacrifice? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:24 mattlipan

9:24	textingFaith:  @mattlipan I like it! And the focus would be on more engagement, interaction; putting the "social" back in social media. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:24 textingFaith

9:25	chickpastor:  @reckshow Yes! Beautiful possibilities. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:25 chickpastor

9:25	Denise205:  @OccupyLent We sure are! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:25 Denise205

9:25	ReBootFaith:  what if we encourage people to engage sm more during #lent --its not about using it more or less--it is how we use it #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:25 ReBootFaith

9:25	Denise205:  Good ideas already emerging...ready for T2? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:25 Denise205

9:26	MeredithGould:  RT @ReBootFaith: what if we encourage people to engage #chsocm more during #lent --its not about using it more or less- [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:26 MeredithGould

9:26	textingFaith:  Lent just isn't about giving up something; it's about putting something positive in it's place. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:26 textingFaith

9:26	rampracer:  RT @mattlipan: @textingFaith right but not simply social, spiritual. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:26 rampracer

9:27	theologybird:  RT @textingFaith: Lent just isnt about giving up something; its about putting something positive in its place. #ChSocM [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:27 theologybird

9:27	Denise205:  T2: What lessons did you learn from #Advent/#OccupyAdvent that will help you do #Lent online better? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:27 Denise205

9:27	MeredithGould:  T1 IMO, if people renounce anything during Lent, it should be anything other than yellow peeps! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:27 MeredithGould

9:27	reckshow:  RT @textingFaith: Lent just isn't about giving up something; it's about putting something positive in it's place. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:27 reckshow

9:27	paulsteinbrueck:  @MeredithGould "Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed" (Luke 5:16) but not for 6 straight weeks. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:27 paulsteinbrueck

9:28	reckshow:  Start planning now. #Advent #OccupyAdvent #Lent #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:28 reckshow

9:28	episcotheque:  @reckshow Start planning last month ;) #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:28 episcotheque

9:28	Denise205:  @ReBootFaith There's lots that can be done to communicate spiritually via Twitter! Follow the #Lent hashtag to see what will happen #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:28 Denise205

9:29	chickpastor:  T2 #advent kicked my butt to blog regularly, bc more people read when it was every day vs once in a while. same for #lent, I think. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:29 chickpastor

9:29	MeredithGould:  @textingFaith We sociologists are always underscoring how "social" refers to "groups" not partying! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:29 MeredithGould

9:30	episcotheque:  T2: be open to new insights, inspirations, and unexpected twists. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:30 episcotheque

9:31	Denise205:  RT @MetroMonk: SM works!! @Denise205: What lessons did you learn from #Advent that will help you do #Lent online better? #chsocm #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:31 Denise205

9:31	mattlipan:  @reckshow agreed. having a plan as opposed to just expecting it to happen. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:31 mattlipan

9:32	Denise205:  @MeredithGould Glad I did a double-read of where those quote marks were. I thought for a sec you advocated no parties. :) #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:32 Denise205

9:33	Denise205:  RT @episcotheque: T2: be open to new insights, inspirations, and unexpected twists. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:33 Denise205

9:33	MetroMonk:  The internet is the new storefront to faith communities. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:33 MetroMonk

9:33	Denise205:  @chickpastor I think so! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:33 Denise205

9:34	Denise205:  @MeredithGould @reckshow Not crazy at all! Booking a speaker would be one thing to do way in advance #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:34 Denise205

9:34	MeredithGould:  @edkay77 @reckshow Less than successful everyone to integrate communications into program & liturgy planning #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:34 MeredithGould

9:34	paulsteinbrueck:  @Denise205 T2: Start over from scratch. :) Despite my best intentions I was still way to busy & distracted. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:34 paulsteinbrueck

9:35	Denise205:  @reckshow Hmm...remind me to think more about that #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:35 Denise205

9:36	Denise205:  @paulsteinbrueck Luckily we're a people of second chances! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:36 Denise205

9:36	reckshow:  @Denise205 I will :) You could do fun stuff with some of the PicturingGod photos, for example. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:36 reckshow

9:37	Denise205:  @mattlipan Interesting. Would you say more about why you think #Advent happens easier than #Lent? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:37 Denise205

9:37	Denise205:  I've seen the analytics to prove that #Lent can be huge for web traffic! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:37 Denise205

9:37	cvdavies:  @MeredithGould Yeesh, one could talk until they're blue in the face about that w/o changing ideas #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:37 cvdavies

9:38	cvdavies:  @Denise205 Interesting, so people are seeking it out via search engines? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:38 cvdavies

9:38	chickpastor:  @Denise205 for real? How does one measure that? on Twitter, etc? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:38 chickpastor

9:39	mattlipan:  @Denise205 for most, getting in Xmas spirit is not difficult. hope, light, giving. for many #lent = sacrifice, self-denial, pain. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:39 mattlipan

9:39	paulsteinbrueck:  @MeredithGould Are magi allowed at seder? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:39 paulsteinbrueck

9:41	episcotheque:  @mattlipan true. Though in that I think the task of getting ppl to observe #Advent (vs Xmas) is harder. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:41 episcotheque

9:41	Denise205:  @mattlipan I get the Christmas spirit, but part of Advent efforts were to remind people to wait for season. Thnx for clarification! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:41 Denise205

9:41	Denise205:  @thecatholiccoup Catch the transcript later! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:41 Denise205

9:41	mattlipan:  why i believe sm can play important role in helping people not only engage but understand #lent & how meaningful the journey can be. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:41 mattlipan

9:42	jaytheson:  Hi guys. Popping in sporadically. Great conversation. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:42 jaytheson

9:42	mattlipan:  @episcotheque i'm not sure i would say harder. most protestant evangelicals aren't even aware of #lent, in my experience. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:42 mattlipan

9:42	Denise205:  @Neeterduck @MeredithGould No, but still lots of online opps during the season to minister #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:42 Denise205

9:43	MetroMonk:  The Lenten message is so religious & about a cross. Advent is about babies in a manger. Who doesn't love tiny,newborn divine babies? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:43 MetroMonk

9:43	Denise205:  @mattlipan Yes! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:43 Denise205

9:43	cvdavies:  @MetroMonk And the presents that come with the newborn divine baby's birth! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:43 cvdavies

9:44	paulsteinbrueck:  @11oclockscholar I agree. Many ppl's impression of lent is it's a somber time 2 reflect on how bad we r 2 have needed Jesus 2 die. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:44 paulsteinbrueck

9:44	Denise205:  @rev_heather Lovely way to view it! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:44 Denise205

9:44	mvandendorpe:  Advent is about the second coming of Christ and the end of time. Lent is about God loving the world unto death. #reframingLent #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:44 mvandendorpe

9:45	reckshow:  @mvandendorpe I love it: #reframingLent #chsocm that's an awesome way to think of it. [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:45 reckshow

9:45	Denise205:  Keep the ideas flowing as we propose topic 3... #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:45 Denise205

9:45	mattlipan:  @chickpastor agreed. a rich part of the Xian story we have ignored(?). i grew up roman catholic so #lent was a HUGE deal. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:45 mattlipan

9:45	Denise205:  T3: What collaborative steps will you try during #Lent to be church effectively online? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:45 Denise205

9:46	episcotheque:  @mattlipan must be my prob: not evangelical enuf. #CRC & my undenom friends "did" #Lent, but #Advent always seemed conflated w/ Xmas #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:46 episcotheque

9:46	Denise205:  @mvandendorpe Now that's a hashtag I like! :) #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:46 Denise205

9:46	MeredithGould:  T3 Will be participating in online prayer and meditations. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:46 MeredithGould

9:47	paulsteinbrueck:  @Denise205 T3a: I'd love to know... what do you hope people to "get" about lent? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:47 paulsteinbrueck

9:48	MeredithGould:  @Liturgy Church social media chat. Tuesdays, 9PM ET (http://bit.ly/pTDoAb) #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:48 MeredithGould

9:48	Denise205:  @mattlipan Advent getting lost in Christmas was the point I was trying to make earlier with my question. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:48 Denise205

9:49	episcotheque:  @mattlipan yeah, I kind of am, too. I went to a Baptist HS, and in my memory was remarkably #Lent-aware. #noclue #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:49 episcotheque

9:50	Denise205:  @paulsteinbrueck At least in my Catholic background, it's about prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Prayer can be done online. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:50 Denise205

9:50	MeredithGould:  @edkay77 In the past, I've helped churches understand the connection between Passover & the Last Supper. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:50 MeredithGould

9:51	reckshow:  @mvandendorpe Brilliant. #reframingLent #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:51 reckshow

9:52	Denise205:  RT @MeredithGould T3a I hope people "get" that this is a sacred season, worthy of contemplation. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:52 Denise205

9:52	skenow:  @paulsteinbrueck T3a Lent is also a season of joy #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:52 skenow

9:52	11oclockscholar:  RT @reckshow: @mvandendorpe Brilliant. #reframingLent #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:52 11oclockscholar

9:53	episcotheque:  @mvandendorpe @rekshow I was once told during Ash Wed imposition: "Enter the wilderness, Alissa; enter abundance" #stuckwithme #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:53 episcotheque

9:53	MetroMonk:  T3: Death means life #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:53 MetroMonk

9:53	Denise205:  @mattlipan No fault on that one. Sometimes it takes more than the 140 characters! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:53 Denise205

9:53	mvandendorpe:  @mattlipan Yes, absolutely! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:53 mvandendorpe

9:53	skenow:  RT @mattlipan: T3: that sometimes God calls us *into* the wilderness. // recently heard this elsewhere - good thought! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:53 skenow

9:54	paulsteinbrueck:  @mvandendorpe It's challenging for a culture of more to embrace a season of less. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:54 paulsteinbrueck

9:54	MeredithGould:  RT @paulsteinbrueck: @mvandendorpe It's challenging for a culture of more to embrace a season of less. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:54 MeredithGould

9:54	MeredithGould:  @paulsteinbrueck Did I answer your question re: contemplation? Make sense? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:54 MeredithGould

9:54	reckshow:  I'd also like ppl to see that the sacrifices they make & disciplines they add are worth continuing after #Lent. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:54 reckshow

9:55	mvandendorpe:  @paulsteinbrueck Yes - and to experience it as leading to life, not deprivation. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:55 mvandendorpe

9:57	Denise205:  Time for last thoughts...for now, at least #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:57 Denise205

9:57	ReBootFaith:  RT @mvandendorpe: @ReBootFaith Advent allowed me to see how we could talk across boundaries rather than within our silos #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:57 ReBootFaith

9:57	Denise205:  RT @reckshow @skenow It's really both; you give something up so you can do something more. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:57 Denise205

9:58	chickpastor:  MT @reckshow: Best #Lent times have been the ones I engaged a specific discipline that changed me & I continued it after the season. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:58 chickpastor

9:58	Denise205:  Coming up on the hour, we conclude with this prayer from Compline: #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:58 Denise205

9:59	Denise205:  Guide us waking, O Lord, and guard us sleeping; that awake we may watch with Christ & asleep we may rest in peace. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday January 24, 2012 9:59 Denise205
