There’s a new hashtag in the Twitterverse that’s attracting a lot of attention.  It’s called “Twitter of Faith,” the hashtag is #TOF, and the idea is that Tweeters would write out what they believe in 140 characters or less.<\/p>\n

If Twitter isn’t on your radar yet, it’s a medium of micro-blogging that’s restricted to 140 characters per post (a.k.a., “Tweet).<\/p>\n

Although I’m generally against statements of faith, I really appreciate the beauty and simplicity of TOF.  It’s a bit like NPR’s “This I Believe<\/a>,” but different.<\/p>\n

My own TOF<\/a> shows my Moltmannian<\/a> proclivities.<\/p>\n
