Tweeting the (other) SBC

Oh be careful little tags what you hash.

Leadership Journal June 13, 2013

Pastors attending the annual Southern Baptist Convention this week in Houston were faithful tweeters. But a hashtag mixup turned humorous when many of them mistook the Seak Foundation’s Sports Bra Challenge 2013 feed (#SBC2013) for their Convention’s official hashtag (#SBC13).

The Sports Bra Challenge (an “annual one day outdoor charity fitness movement,” taglined “Reveal Yourself”) is an event designed to help encourage women to overcome insecurities and exercise in a supportive environment. It is, as you’d imagine, unrelated to the Southern Baptist Convention…

Two worthy events, made so much better by sharing a single twitter feed. A few highlight tweets from SBC pastors to the (other) SBC:

“Wisely dorms are freezing.. even with the air off! #SBC2013”

“Why is it so cold in this arena?” #SBC2013

“Anybody else think we look small on television #SBC2013”

“I find myself growing more and more irritated.” #SBC2013

“Your affliction is only for a time. This too shall pass… #sbc2013”

We must be doing something right to be so widely hated! #sbc2013

So thankful for time with my beautiful friend … #sbc2013

“That was incredibly uplifting!” #SBC2013

“God raises up the leaders He needs. Stop dwelling on your insecurities. #sbc2013”
