Phil Bernstein’s post titled Religion Tackles Social Media featured a quote that we should all possibly print and post on our wall as a blunt reminder as to what’s going on with social media. Phil’s summary of the NY Times article peaks with this statement:

“If total control is what you want, social media will frustrate you,” [Rev. Bill Reichart] said, reprising his advice to the clergy. “But the trade-off is the ability to hear and learn, reach out in new directions.”

Control is extremely overrated. Even if you had complete control (and you don’t), you’d be a poor steward of it. It’s encouraging to see someone from a stereotypically antiquated area (church) get this.
