Churches are in the business of creating community. We gather people for worship. We encourage people to serve in community. We orchestrate paths for people to gather in groups to learn and to share life.

Are there any glimpses of how God has designed his people for community that are reflected in the world of Twitter? Is there anything we can learn from the success of Twitter that may apply in our ministries?
