Ever wonder what it would be like to be a man or woman of God? Well, now's your chance, thanks to a new iPhone app developed by Edina pastor and author Tony Jones.

Here's an iTunes description of the new "app-tly" named "Ordain Thyself," which launched last week:

In addition to writing religious books and serving as theologian-in-residence at Solomon's Porch church in Minneapolis, Jones also assists in running "social media bootcamps" for religious leaders, which helps churches become savvier at using social media to get out their messages.

So how did Jones come up with the new app (which he says is meant to be entertaining and not taken too seriously)?

While some people have been a "bit perturbed" and turned off by the app, most have generally loved it, Jones said.
