Pastors vs. Professors use of Twitter

I think Twitter is for pastors much less useful than it is for professors.

  1. How large church pastors tweet: UPBEAT sermon one-liners, church, book, guest appearance promotion, vacations, sports. Avoid controversial.

  2.  

    A large church pastor's role is to present polished message via sermon; processing on Twitter results in misinterpretation & thus, detracts.

  3.  

    Whereas professors find students (who have time and space to process) learn (even conservative ideas) best by reflecting on controversy.

  4.  

    Pastors are wary of Twitter detracting from main message; for professors it is a great source of current examples for engaging students.
