 Social media, with their episodic, seemingly ephemeral media, posts, tweets, Instagrams, check-ins, or even conversations on bar stools and barber's chairs, have a cumulative effect as they are held together in the context of relationship. They help nurture, sustain, and enliven relationships in which we can share and experience the Gospel together. In a sense, this is not so different from the Gospels themselves, which are filled with Jesus' own episodic encounters, which take place in the context of relationship and the larger narrative of his own death and resurrection.
