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 October meeting
took place over Zoom with special guest David Crumm, the Co-Founder and Editor
of ReadtheSpirit.com. Crumm is known nationwide to journalists and authors who
cover the impact of religion and cross-cultural issues on our world today. He
has nearly 40 years as a journalist, during which he has won top awards and is
a senior fellow with several universities and nonprofits, including the
University of Michigan Knight-Wallace Journalism Fellowship and the Washington
DC-based East West Center.
“Mr. Crumm spoke
passionately about story telling, its history and purpose and how it relates
back to faith,” says Julie Brinker, RCC Communications Coordinator and
Community Affairs Director of the Church of Scientology, “He was incredibly
inspirational and we were so glad to have him present to RCC.”
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
