Nashville Religion Communicators Excited to Attend National Convention Virtually

 

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 to learn about other faith traditions, learn from fellow communicators and gain professional development opportunities.

 

The April meeting is not taking place but instead Nashville RCC members are attending the virtual National Convention which takes place this week. The 2021 convention theme is “Opening New Portals, Building Community” and takes place this week virtually.

 

“Opening New Portals, Building Community is designed to help communicators—reporters, editors, publishers, writers, marketers, freelancers, videographers, photographers, graphic designers and more—who work for the religious and mainstream media, denominations, religious and other organizations and nonprofits and more to be supported and encouraged as people of faith and to network and develop and improve their skills,” according to religioncommunicators.org/convention.

 

Nearly 3 dozen presenters are part of the convention with topics such as “New Portals to Understanding the Soul: Communicating Spirituality and Faith After Covid,” “The Theology of Podcasting,” and “Including Underrepresented Voices in the Media.”

 

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 Council, visit religioncommunicators.org/nashville-chapter.
