A Church of England
diocese has issued a list of social media rules to its staff and clergy, urging
them to consider God when tweeting the masses.
The
guidelines range from practical security advice to more faith-based
instructions, including a warning that updates are "transient yet
permanent".
The
list has been widely shared online, dubbed the "Twitter
commandments".
Bath
and Wells diocese said it compiled the nine rules to help "spread the word
of God in the most effective way".
The guidelines aim to help parish staff
"navigate through the social media landscape".
