GA Social Media Policy
Social media has become a normal and integral part of our lives as a society. It covers an ever-evolving collection of programs and devices like Twitter, email, texting and Facebook. It might be tempting to dismiss these new technologies as tangential to the Church. They could be ignored, banned, or acknowledged. What we can兵t do is to expect that social media is not a normal part of life for many members, visitors, youth, and their families....
....Social media is not a fad, it is a fundamental shift in the way we communicate. -General Assembly, Social Media Policy

"You shall not make for yourself an idol" (Ex. 20:4; Deut. 5:8).

2.0 When you make a comment online, do not do so unless its grace-鍖lled and charitable.
"Remember the Sabbath Day, and keep it holy" (Ex. 20:8; Deut. 5:12)
I would no more make a new-agey call to 鍖nd inner peace than I would encourage a return to the mimeograph. But I do believe that there has to be a way to regularly impose some thoughtfulness, or at least calm, into modern life or at least my version. Once I moved beyond the fear of being unavailable and what it might cost me, I experienced what, if I wasnt such a skeptic, I would call a lightness of being. I felt connected to myself rather than my computer. I had time to think, and distance from normal demands. I got to stop. -Mark Bittman, NY Times, I need a virtual break. no really!
2.0 "Remember sabbath extends to digital life as well; keep it holy. (Ex. 20:8; Deut. 5:12)
"Honor your father and your mother" (Ex. 20:12; Deut. 5:16).
2.0 Before posting or reposting online, double-check and think twice hereby making your father, mother, and all in authority very happy.
ALL THE PHONE NUMBERS of your cell are now on facebook! Go to the top right of the screen, click on ACCOUNT, click on EDIT FRIENDS, left side of screen and click CONTACTS.You will see ALL phone numbers from your cell phone (FB friends or not) are published that you have stored in your mobile phone. TO REMOVE, go to the right...
"You shall not murder" (Ex. 20:13; Deut. 5:17).
2.0 Use technology for peace.
"You shall not commit adultery" (Ex. 20:14; Deut. 5:18).
2.0 You shall not multi-life without re鍖ection.
Second Life gives me a better relationship that I have in real life. This is where I feel most myself. Jade accepts who I am. My relationship with Jade makes it possible for me to stay in my marriage, with my family. -Alone Together
"You shall not steal" (Ex. 20:15; Deut. 5:19).
2.0 Consider your time spent on digital life; use it wisely to glorify and enjoy God.
"You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor" (Ex. 20:16; Deut. 5:20)
2.0 You shall have access to the most recent (and correct) ideas, information, and sources while also helping others gain equal access.
"You shall not covet what is your neighbor's" (Ex. 20:17; Deut. 5:21)
2.0 You shall use technology to love--and not covet--love all...yes even those people.
