It is important that those who participate in social media keep a few principles in mind:
- Do not create a social media page for our Community or the Order without permission from the appropriate authorities in the Order.
- Do not post pictures of anyone but yourself at Carmelite events without permission from the other people in the photos.
- Be aware that self-identifying on social media as a Carmelite carries the dual responsibilities of making sure that what you post is appropriate and that it is clear to those reading your post that you are not speaking for the Order.
- There are many sad and evil new stories every day. Please examine the “flavor” of what you post.
- Are your posts communicating the joy of the Christian faith offering hope to those who read your posts?
