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.
Due to the onset
of COVID-19, RCC members have been meeting virtually, for the most part, since
March. The August meeting was no different and took place over Zoom with
special guest from Free for Life International.
Free for Life is a
non-profit organization with the mission to identify, assist, and restore life
to the victims and survivors of human trafficking. Their vision, while simply
stated, is bold, "freedom for all."
“We’re so glad to
have Free for Life present to the RCC in any capacity,” says Julie Brinker, RCC
Communications Coordinator and Community Affairs Director of the Church of
Scientology, “It is one of the most important human trafficking awareness and restoration
organizations in the country.”
Free For Life
presented the facts to RCC Members, “Slavery is the current reality for over 40
million people around the world. It happens in every major city, every
neighborhood. It affects every race and every nationality, and it has to stop.”
The organization also provided two links to free webinars on the myths and
misconceptions of human trafficking and how COVID-19 has affected human
trafficking. Both links are available from the RCC website, Nashville Chapter
page.
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. For more information about the Religion Communicators
