For starters… This is a cool article that has been spreading
through facebook feeds today:
But I just like that because I love being Mormon and I love
even more when other people love it too!
For seconders… Im taking the majority of my blog from this
article from Desert News
In this article it talks about how religious leaders are
following suit and using social media to get their ideas and beliefs out. According to a 2013
Twiplomacy Study done by Burson-Marsteller, Pope Francis is now ranked
as the most influential Twitter user based on the average number of retweets he
receives from his six accounts in different languages. The POPE! On twitter?!
And I assumed it would be Snooki… Regardless, by posting spiritual thoughts
instead of just scripture, pastors make themselves a part of the conversation.
And isn’t that how you influence people? By not just being the topic of
conversation… but by joining it? My hats off to you, Pope. You’re sixty million
followers and influences ahead of me.
Our church is slowly catching
up with this media stream in religion. Starting with the “I am a Mormon”
youtube channel, they have created an easier environment for those who aren't
usually involved with religion and ups the interest level of the average
web surfer. I mean, what better missionary work is there?! And who would have
thought that the gathering of Israel
could have gone cyber.
