Religious Evangelists Spread Faith through Social Media

Monday, June 29th, 2009

PBS interviewed me about social media as an evangelistic tool. Even better, they interviewed some really great folks like John Saddington, Carlos Whitaker and Michael White and ended up with an article that reads like a great conversation.

Here’s a brief quote from the article, which you can find online here.

“There exist religious-themed alternatives to most social media specifically targeting people of faith — Tangle.com provides a Christian alternative to YouTube, while Saddington’s pet project Gospelr is a Christian-themed Twitter analogue. While they may be good for uniting the faithful, some are skeptical of services that allow believers to segregate themselves from the wider world. Saddington said that both secular and religious services had their uses, but that people should keep in mind that they were unlikely to spread their faith if they confined themselves to online communities that consisted only of fellow believers.”
