#TrinitySunday: A day of doctrinal panic on Twitter
Trinity Sunday is notorious in church circles because of the difficulty some clergy find in explaining the concept of a triune God. It is jokingly known by some as "heresy Sunday". Some clergy posted details of their challenges on Twitter where #TrinitySunday became a trending topic.
The Bishop of Jarrow Mark Bryant tweeted:
The remarkable thing about God is three persons playing together nicely for all eternity #TrinitySunday

Good morning, Twitter. On this day more heresy will be preached from English pulpits than on any other day. #TrinitySunday
