Religious Rockstars on Twitter (#0949)

2012/12/20 By Greg

Christina Chaey recently placed the following people on her list of religious rockstars on Twitter:

  • Pope Benedict XVI (@Pontifex) 
  • Dalai Lama (@DalaiLama)
  • Joel Osteen (@JoelOsteen)
  • Joyce Meyer (@JoyceMeyer)
  • Jesse Jackson, Sr. (@RevJJackson)
  • Reverend Run (@RevRunWisdom)
  • Rick Warren (@RickWarren)
  • Rabbi Shmuley Boteach (@RabbiShmuley)

 

So What?

My immediate response to reading this list was to see how many of the religious rockstars I was already following (3) and to follow the rest (at least temporarily).  While the Pope is the latest to join Twitter, he has already attracted over a million followers.

  • How many of these eight religious leaders do you follow on Twitter?
  • If you were crafting a list of the leading religious voices on Twitter, who would make your list?
