Pray as you go are doing a Stations of the Cross podcast/download mp3: http://www.pray-as-you-go.org/stations.htm

I listened (not the right word -- but I don't know what else to call viewing a Twitter enactment) to the Trinity Wall Street Twitter presentation today, and although I have to say I was dubious at best before I started, I have to say that it was VERY involving, and VERY immediate.

I've probably sung, read, or otherwise been involved in presenting the Passion a hundred times in my life, and this was the one that was most personally involving. This was probably because it was so entirely integrated with the rest of life.

I think it's a cool concept to have a Stations of the Cross online and have never participated in one, but I was wondering, is it really helpful? To stare at a computer screen in your room by yourself is nothing compared to actually physically attending a Stations of the Cross. I feel like actually going to a church and experiencing a Stations of the Cross, set up by people in your church community, would be so much more meaningful.

Could providing a Stations of the Cross over the Internet potentially discourage people to go out to church to participate?

This was a great application for this medium. It was engaging and not pushy. I believe this will build some goodwill to Trinity Church. Now, how do you follow up on this? They created a large following on Twitter, but the whole thing was created for a one-time show. To now use it as a channel for advertising or evangelism would leave people frustrated.

So far, this is the best use of Twitter I has seen from a church.
