What Would Jesus Tweet?

Wall Street Trinity Church is twittering the Passion of the Christ today. The story of Jesus in 140-word bursts!

In a marriage of Christian tradition and digital technology, Wall Street’s Trinity Church is using the micro-blogging service Twitter to perform the story of Jesus Christ.

The main characters will tweet the Passion play for three hours beginning at noon on Good Friday. The feed also can be delivered to mobile devices or e-mail addresses.

The lower Manhattan Episcopal parish also is offering a Web version of the Stations of the Cross.

The church was founded by a small group of Anglicans in 1697.

Can’t help but notice they don’t tell you the name of the Twitter account. Don’t provide a link. Well, that’s why God invented Google.

Got it: twitter.com/twspassionplay.

That’s probably noon Eastern, which means 11 a.m. here in my part of flyover country. I won’t be able to watch it happen (I’ve got church myself at noon), but I’ll check in after.

They have an online Stations of the Cross, too. I’d embed it (they provide the code here), but WordPress doesn’t allow Javascript. Ah, well.
