Description
Social media provide an opportunity for congregations to open the doors and windows to their
congregational life before people ever step inside. It's no longer all about "getting your message
out" as if people are passively waiting for the latest news from the parish, diocese, or national
church. Rather, it's about creating spaces where meaningful relationships can develop.
Click 2 Save: The Digital Ministry Bible is a practical resource guide for religious leaders who
want to enrich and extend their ministries using digital media like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube
and church or personal blogs. An ideal companion to Tweet If You ? Jesus: Practicing Church
in the Digital Reformation (Morehouse, 2011), Click 2 Save draws on extensive research and
practical experience in church and other ministry settings to provide functional, how-to guidance
on effectively using social networking sites in the day-to-day context of ministry.
