Church Year | Rowan Williams on Easter

neal — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 15:16:53 +0000

I’m consistantly impressed with the quality of Rowan William’s youtube reflections on the church year.. it’s appropriate for the medium, and there’s been a bit more than the conventional “ehmm..Â I suppose we’ll upload the sermon” approach to usingÂ social media. Still waiting for him to begin twittering though..!

It’s interesting to watch the little trendÂ of liturgical calendar + social media that seems to be developing.Â @twitturgies and @twiturgy make good use of twitter for this purpose and I think there’s plenty more creative mashups from where these came from: old/new, ancient/modern, ritual/technological In particularÂ I’m looking forwardÂ to see what happens with the mainstream adoption of location technologies.. when hyperlinks aren’t just about screen based text links, and the connectivity and real world hyperlinking and networking heads out onto the street- pilgramage taking a digital turn.

AÂ pint of your choice for the firstÂ person to come upÂ with a creative ancient/future use for a QR code and implement it

Any other technologies up for liturgical grabs?

Rowan Williams popped up today on Twitter, although given that on his profile he preferred to link to the wikipedia article about himself rather than his own official page up until an hour or two ago, and his eclectic choice of people he chose to follow I’m a little suspicious! (the guardian thinks so too!)
