The Religion Communicators Council is an interfaith
communications organization which meets monthly to learn from one another and
explore new ways to promulgate religious messages.
In October, the Nashville Religion Communicators Council
(RCC) heard from the Nashville Rescue Mission and Salvation Army. Topic of the day was “Putting Faith Into
Action.” Both ministries shared the values of bringing the faith to the people
in such a way that makes lives better each day.
Lynn Bogle, with Nashville Rescue Mission, stressed the
importance of reconnecting people with God. The Nashville Rescue Mission serves
the homeless, addicts and broken families by serving meals, providing shelter,
restoring life and helping people get back on their feet. Bogle made it clear
that anyone can end up at the Mission after just a couple of bad choices in
life.
Gerald Brown, with Salvation Army, presented a video
about the Salvation Army which demonstrated the motto: Doing the Most Good. The
army "provides soup, soap and salvation," but truly encompasses a
myriad of activities to the benefit of children, men and women.
President of the Nashville chapter and pastor of the
Church of Scientology, Rev. Brian Fesler said, “I’m always encouraging my
parishioners to get out and be active in the community... and people like this
just prove it’s all worthwhile.”
Both organizations provide shelter for those without
homes, and both give out meals to the hungry.
The Religion Communicators Council (RCC) hears regularly
from such organizations to learn how they act out their faith. Fesler went on
to say, “We will continue to bring these important topics to the forefront at
coming meetings. This is the kind of good news that we share as religious
communicators.”
The RCC is open to members from all denominations, and
the Nashville group includes Baha’is, Christians, Jews, Muslims,
Scientologists, and more. For further
