The Nashville Chapter of the Religion Communicators Council holds
bi-monthly meetings to discuss hot topics and have deep discussions on what is
happening in the world today.
Recent violence in the United States began the conversation for
the Nashville Chapter of the Religion Communicators Council, but as each person
put their deep-seated beliefs on the table, hope became the keyword during this
bi-monthly meeting in the series: “Building Bridges Over Bagels."
The longest running interfaith communications organization in the
United States, the Religion Communicators Council (RCC), has chapters across
the country that meet regularly and promote excellence in the communication of
religious faith and values in the public arena and encourage understanding
among religious and faith groups. In Nashville, the RCC Chapter has bi-monthly
meetings to discuss hot topics and how they, as people of faith, may influence
others.
Attendees engaged about how individual religious practices shape
lives, and how we can change the world by starting right in our own homes.
Participants pointed out how they believe that it starts with oneself and being
good to one's own family.
The meeting took place at the Islamic Center of Tennessee. Past
meeting locations have included the Church of Scientology, Baha’i Faith
Community Center and United Methodist Communications. The next meeting location
will be announced on the Nashville RCC website, and takes place on September
13th at 8:30am.
The RCC has members from every faith group and walk of life
including Baha’is, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Scientologists, Sikhs, Hindus and
more. For more information about the RCC or its next meeting, visit
