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 most recent meeting was a
tour of Dismas House, where formerly incarcerated men are able to live and
transition back to civilian life.
The July meeting will be a
daybreak discussion and will take 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 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
