MSNBC — “Holy Twitter! They're tweeting from the pews”
Kim Gregson, assistant professor of television-radio
MSNBC reports that many churches are keeping their congregations informed using social media, especially Twitter. Gregson says that using social media in this way helps churches stay relevant. “Everybody needs to reach the next generation, to give them a sense of belonging,” she says. “Online is where younger people live. It’s where they get their information, make their social connections, plan their weekends. You have to be there, you have to be in front of them. There’s a realization that if you don’t do these things, you’ll become forgotten.”
