These churches already have built in networks of readers, visitors and especially Facebook fans, so why broadcast those messages outside of those mediums? Also in Indianapolis are a few outstanding pastors/ministers: @mattlipan, @aaronstory, @brianltabor who are constantly engaging people and building brand equity for their respective churches. Now, could those people also manage a corporate church account, and send lots of @ messages to people? Sure, but wouldn't the interaction be more meaningful if you had a face and a name attached? During the conversation with @faithHighway that sparked this post, I had no idea until today that I was actually talking to @KristenParkhrst (or was I?). If I engage in a conversation with a twitter account, I think the exchange could be more meaningful if I knew who was on the other side.
