Church of Christ Gifts Facebook App

Early last year (now it feels more like "early last century") I blogged about "Ecumenism and 'Learning Another Language'" (see posts here and here). I've noticed that different religious groups -- movements, denominations and the like -- all create their own distinct internal culture, complete with language, symbols and artifacts. Lately I came across a "Church of Christ" Facebook app that some friends were using and gave it a try. It's called "Church Gifts (Church of Christ Edition)" (you can click that link to sign in to Facebook and see the app's page).

The app was funny and pretty much spot-on. I just hope that Church of Christ folks don't get the idea they're the only group with these kinds of little quirks. As I've said, every group, religious or otherwise, has it's own way of speaking and acting.

Below you can see a screenshot of the first page (out of five) of available "gifts" to send to Facebook friends. The second screenshot shows the message friends receiving a gift will see. Click on either image to see larger.
