I think this will lead to greater authenticity in the pulpit. IMO, the pastors who are best-equipped to function in a social media world are those who are prepared to be more of an "open book" to their people. It puts more pressure on us to "walk the talk" - and it puts more pressure on congregants to accept their pastors as flawed human beings.
This is the question I get asked all the time. I have an answer, but I'd love to hear others on this.
When I asked this elsewhere the question was declared "silly" because SM is no less secure than phone, email or other methods of communication. Not a helpful response.
