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 at rotating locations to learn about other
faith traditions, learn from fellow communicators and gain professional
development opportunities.
The December meeting took place
at the Cookery, a local restaurant which in addition to serving coffee,
breakfast, lunch, dinner and catering to the public, has a greater purpose. According
to its website, “in The Cookery kitchen, formerly homeless students are trained
and equipped in culinary techniques and food safety in order to prepare them
for employment in Nashville’s food industry.” All revenue from The Cookery goes
to cover all café expenses and back into Lambscroft Ministries programs to
serve Nashville’s homeless.
During the meeting, RCC Board
members for the Nashville Chapter reviewed the content of the year’s meetings
and created a plan for 2020.
“We are so excited to launch a new series of
programs for our members,” says Julie Brinker, Communications Coordinator for
the Nashville RCC and Director of Community Affairs for the Church of
Scientology Nashville, “We’ll have three different tracks on a rotating
schedule so our members will get a lot of new opportunities to learn and grow
as communicators.”
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. The
next Nashville Chapter meeting will be January 7th, 2020. For more information about the Religion Communicators
