United Methodist Young Clergy Social Media Guide
March 16, 2009
We are a movement of young pastors committed to the fact that God is not done working among us. The numbers and statistics may tell us the end is in sight. But God does the best work in places in need of resurrection.
We’re committed to supporting each other, collaboration instead of competition and unity in love.
This is a guide to facilitate social media connections among UM Young Clergy.

- Add your annual conference as a prefix to the above. For example, for the Kansas West Annual Conference it would be “kswumyc” for a blog post about clergy under age 35 in the Kansas West Annual Conference or “#kswumc” for a tweet about the United Methodist Church in the Kansas West Annual Conference.

Gavin – I am not sure if that is sarcasm or not. I have thought about it quite a bit, but this is my first take at pulling something like this together.
