'Threethrowing' created as Christian gesture

It's a simple idea: associating a three-finger hand gesture with the Trinity. Mark Mitchum, creator of "threethrowing," believes it can be a clearly defined, unmistakable hand gesture for Christians when verbal fellowship can't occur.

"I came up with the idea while driving around," said Mitchum, a registered nurse in a cardiac cath lab in Panama City, Fla., and member of First Baptist Church. "I would see lots of Christian symbols, like the cross, fish or dove, or even a clever bumper sticker or two, and would think, 'Hey that's cool. They're Christians, but what do they know about me?'

"I figured a simple Christian hand gesture could connect us for a few seconds and allow fellowship and encouragement."

In researching Christian gestures, however, Mitchum said he found nothing in mainstream pop culture seen as "Christian."

Until now. Mitchum is on a mission to spread the three-finger Trinity sign to the Christian community. To read more, click here.
