#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

Canon Jane Charman of the Salisbury diocese tweeted:

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

Gogglebox vicar Rev Kate Bottley ‏tweeted:

It's good news that the Archdeacon is with is this morning, it means I don't have to preach on #TrinitySunday

Rev Rachel Mann wrote:

Ah #TrinitySunday. A day we can all rejoice in our inability to eff the ineffable.

Writer and clergy wife Catherine Fox tweeted:

#TrinitySunday good luck with the preaching! The dean once typed 'the three parsons of the Trinity'. @paulargooder

The Church Urban Fund, however, opted for doctrinal correctness:
