Anglican bishops to tweet Christmas Day sermons

To spread the "good news" this Christmas, The Archbishops' Council has announced it will be allowing its Anglican bishops to tweet their Christmas Day sermons.

The Archbishop of Canterbury and the archbishop-designate, as well as clergy and congregations around the UK, will be using the hashtag #ChristmasStartsWithChrist

The BBC reports that they are likely to tweet from carol, crib and midnight services, before carrying on into Christmas morning when the highlights of the sermons at Canterbury Cathedral, York Minster and Durham Cathedral will be tweeted

Worshippers in the Church's 16,000 parishes are also being encouraged to tweet on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Rev Arun Arora, of the Archbishops' Council, said: "This is a brilliant opportunity for parishes to take the good news of the first Christmas out of churches and into people's lives and homes."
