NYC Church Twitters Good Friday Ritual

Trinity Wall Street brings Good Friday online

Share

(Newser) – A New York church is using Twitter to bring observance of Good Friday into the social-networking age, CNET reports. Trinity Wall Street is posting the Passion, 140-character piece by 140-character piece, from a set of accounts representing the characters in the story. The church already encourages the use of video e-postcards and offers sermon podcasts, so Twitter was a natural next step.
