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 July 2022 meeting saw the group in person for the first time in two years, with a tour of
the Nashville Food Project, an organization with the mission “to bring people
together to grow, cook and share nourishing food, with the goals of cultivating
community and alleviating hunger in our city.”
The Nashville Food Project was born from the idea that all people
should have access to the food they want and need. According to
thenashvillefoodproject.org, “one in seven people in Nashville lacks access to
enough food to sustain a healthy lifestyle,” and “more than 40% of all the food
in our city goes to waste.” Solutions to hunger take much more than simple
handouts. Poverty, unemployment, low wages and escalating housing costs all
contribute to the challenges that the most vulnerable residents of our city
face.
“We were able
to hear from the Nashville Food Project virtually last year, so our chapter was
excited to be able to visit and learn more about them in person,” says Julie
Brinker, communications coordinator for the Nashville RCC and Director of
Community Affairs for the Nashville Church of Scientology.
The group
additionally was able to live stream the meeting on its Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/religioncommunicatorscouncilnashville.
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
