Twitter & the Nativity


This Advent season, Twitter users (and anyone with internet access), will be able to follow the "Natwivity"! The U.K. based Evangelical Alliance and a design company called Share Creative hope to bring the ages old story of Christ's birth to a new and modern media platform.

The characters will include...Joseph, Mary, the shepherds, the 3 wise men and King Herod. Huw Tyler, of Share Creative, says: "We want to tell the Christmas story, an amazingly exciting story in a way that is not only accessible, but is fun and relevant to today's internet generation." They plan to offer fresh insight into what may have been the thoughts and feelings of the main characters...imagine, a twitter post from the shepherds when they meet the Angels!

If you are not a follower of Twitter, daily accounts can be read beginning December 1st through December 25, by logging on to: http://twitter.com/natwivity

The project also has a Facebook page here. The postings will be suitable for people of all ages! I, for one am interested in seeing what they have to say!
