When the Rev. Torey Lightcap, in his first post of the morning, challenged Café readers to create a Facebook page welcoming Anne Rice to the Episcopal Church, he couldn’t have foreseen that your erstwhile social media junkie would rise to the bait in order to post it to the social media hour. In fact, I probably would not have done so had the infamous Facebook feed problems not reared their heads again. Therefore, here’s a link to The Episcopal Church Welcomes Anne Rice, and since it’s still under construction, we invite anyone interested to come post more personal greetings to the welcome.
We have another idea for making the feed work in Facebook, but it involves cross-posting from Twitter. You can follow the Cafe from there as well. To chat about the Cafe on Twitter use #ecafe instead of replies.
Another social media event at the Cafe in the last week was our poll about whether The Episcopal Church should continue funding the Anglican Communion Standing Committee. There’s still time to vote, here. The application we’re using is a Google documents form. Besides the poll we allowed for an open-ended response. You can view the results so far.
