Episode 44 of How We Do Digital Ministry features Rev. Solomon Missouri, pastor at Kyles Temple AME Zion Church in Durham, NC. Solomon and Charlotte Elia discuss Twitter as a mission field, finding and using your voice, challenging preconceptions of the faith, and cultivating the vulnerability that creates community and promotes engagements.
"I am intentionally using the tool of Twitter to foster community to look at how we intersect the ideas of faith and life, the things we are looking to accomplish as Christians. I am introducing the ideas of progressivism into faith to understand, and to make a place for, individuals who are trying to bridge both the politics and the practices of faith life." - Rev. Solomon Missouri
