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 first meeting of 2020 took place
in early January 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 members participated
in the inaugural meeting for DayBreak Discussions, a new meeting format for
Nashville RCC which brings together members along with the broader community
for organic conversations about worldly topics.
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 Feb. 4th, 2020 at 11:30 am at
United Methodist Communications, and will feature Jamie Dunham, Chief Brand
Strategist for Brand Wise. For more information about
