The Nashville Chapter of the
Religion Communicators Council (RCC) meets monthly to talk about topics of
interest and hear from professionals in religious communications.
Why is it important to stay
connected with the community? This was the question posed and answered during the
most recent meeting of the Nashville Chapter’s Religion Communicators Council
during the first week of February.
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. Since the onset of COVID-19, meetings have been
virtual.
The February meeting took place
over Zoom with RCC members hearing from a Deaconess from the Church for All
People (C4AP) in Columbus Ohio. This church is an example of an urban church
partnering with their surrounding community to offer services. For more info:

She shared how the church has
adapted to COVID-19, specifically how programs have been modified from in
person to virtual; how they are communicating with hard-to-reach folks; and the
services offered for the surrounding community.
“We’re so glad to hear about how people are
staying connected with their communities during this time,” says Julie Brinker,
Communications Coordinator for the Nashville RCC and Director of Community
Affairs for the Church of Scientology Nashville.
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
