Church of England issues new 'commandments' for Christians online, including instructions for Christians to be 'safe, 'respectful' and 'kind' to one another online.
The Ten Commandments may have been written on tablets of stone, but the Church of England has once again shown its willingness to adapt to the modern world by issuing new rules suited to a different kind of tablet.
“Social media is a very public way of enabling us as Christians to live out our calling to share the good news of Jesus Christ,” the church said in a statement regarding the new social media guidelines. “One of its many joys is that it is immediate, interactive, conversational and open-ended. This opportunity comes with a number of downsides if users do not apply the same common sense, kindness and sound judgement that we would use in a face-to-face encounter.
"Treat others how you would wish to be treated and assume the best in people," the guidelines say."If you have a criticism or critique to make, consider not just whether you would say it in person, but the tone you would use."
