In 2000, RCC, formerly known as the Religious Public Relations Council, celebrated its 71st year. The RCC provides opportunities for religion communicators to learn from each other. Together, RCC members promote excellence in the communication of religious faith and values in the public arena and encourage understanding among religious and faith groups. RCC includes eleven local chapters in various cities around the country.
Local chapters meet regularly for programming and networking.
Nationally RCC offers a yearly convention, complete with exciting keynote speakers and challenging workshops. Highlights of the annual convention are the awards ceremonies where work within the church and in secular media is honored. RCC also supports its members through a newsletter, Counselor , which often includes helpful tips and information. The 6th edition is now available.
