Nashville Religion Communicators Council Holds Virtual Dialogue About the Election

 

The Nashville Chapter of the Religion Communicators Council (RCC) meets monthly to talk about topics of interest and hear from professionals in religious communications.  

 


The Religion Communicators Council (RCC) is an interfaith association of religion communicators at work in print and electronic communication, marketing and public relations. The Nashville Chapter meets monthly to learn about other faith traditions, learn from fellow communicators and gain professional development opportunities. Due to the onset of COVID-19, RCC members have been meeting virtually, for the most part, since March.

 

The November virtual meeting took place one week after election day, and RCC members will gathered to dialogue about it. Questions posed to RCC members by President of the Nashville Chapter, Rev. Brian Fesler, led to an array of meaningful and deep conversations about how faith, belief and one’s work all coincide. Rev. Fesler posed questions in such a way that RCC members did not need to reveal their political party or stance on issues, but rather how they would handle various situations from their position as a person of faith and religious communicator.  Rev. Fesler, who pastors the Nashville Church of Scientology, wanted everyone to feel open about communicating their beliefs in a non-judgmental zone so they could uplift one another.

 

The RCC has members from every faith group and walk of life including Baha’is, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Scientologists, Sikhs, Hindus and more. The RCC, founded in 1929, is an association of communications professionals who work for and with a diverse group of faith-based organizations in the areas of communications, public relations, advertising and development.

 

The RCC provides opportunities for communicators to learn from each other. Together, RCC members promote excellence in the communication of faith and values in the public arena. For more information about the Religion Communicators Council, visit religioncommunicators.org/nashville-chapter.
