It’s been an interesting week on the social networks. On the one hand, The Cafe on Facebook has quieted down considerably now that the commenters there are no longer being antagonized. On the other hand, Twitter picked up a lot of steam thanks to several hash-tag memes and conversations.
On Twitter this week, the meme du jour was “I’m Episcopalian because….”. There are pages and pages of responses to this hash-tag query, first posited by @iamepiscopal, the official Twitter stream of the Episcopal Church. Here are a few more that were posted since we first covered this on Thursday:
@swancommarachel: I’m #EpiscopalianBecause sometimes these beautiful, courageous, messy hopeful people do wild Gospel stuff
@seanferrell: #EpiscopalianBecause its the Good News of God in Christ, not the Bad News of Hell for those who believe differently from me.
@whitwaide: I’m #EpiscopalianBecause I’d rather revel in the mystery than argue facts.
@luckie_reubs#EpiscopalianBecauseirreverence does not = unholiness.
@jasina: I’m #EpiscopalianBecause I love the combination of a traditional liturgy and progressive minds.
Another hash tag of note this week is #LAElection, in which the Twittersphere discuss the suffragan bishop election in L.A.
Remember, use #ecafe to tag things to our attention on Twitter!
