Tweets of Common Prayer: An Ancient Practice for a New Technology
Posted by cicw
Monday, February 9th, 2009
My post today at ThinkChristian.net:
I was a Twitter skeptic before I was a Twitter convert. Why, exactly, do I need a more efficient method of delivery for the mundanities of other people’s lives? I only got hooked on Twitter – which, for the uninitiated, is basically a mini-blog – through some of its other uses …
Recently I’ve found one other use for Twitter, and that’s prayer. That might sound strange: a reverent act on a tool built for trivialities? But it turns out that Twitter is helping me rediscover an ancient practice that so far I’ve failed to build into my daily life, and that’s praying the hours, or fixed-hour prayer.
