The Religion Communicators
Council is an interfaith communications organization working to promote peace
and fellowship while spreading the good news.
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,” according to the RCC website.
In Nashville, the RCC Chapter meets every other month to promote its
ideals through conversations about what is in the news and how to spread more religious
messages – the good news—a tradition that began this year. “People of faith
have influence,” says Board Member of the Nashville Chapter, Julie Brinker, who
also does community relations with the Church of Scientology, “We all need to
step out and speak up because the good news, of which there is an abundance,
tends to be overshadowed.”
The chapter had a busy year, hearing from religion reporters to video
producers. The first meeting was with Holly Meyer of the Tennessean, who gave
the group tips on best practices for religious reporting. Next, RCC heard from
Adovcate Market Research who showcased innovative ways to help know one’s
audience so a message can truly get across.
The following month, the chapter heard from Sophia Agtarap of
Vanderbilt Divinity School who specializes in storytelling in digital media.
After that, members were treated to a discussion on video production and how
this helps communicate a message in today’s world.
To round out the year, Lori Whitbey of Schneider Electric, gave a talk
about strategic marketing to make it easy and an approachable subject.
Nashville’s RCC chapter is preparing for an even greater 2019 with engaging
meeting topics and professional development presentations. RCC is open to
members from all denominations, and the Nashville group includes Baha’is,
Christians, Jews, Muslims, Scientologists, Hindus and more. For further information about the RCC or
