We find that this article about Bonnie Anderson, the president of the General Convention House of Deputies, speaks directly to our mission and ministry. To read the entire article in The Record, click here.
“I know that this is likely an interesting, if not difficult, time for communicators. Budget cuts often find their way to the diocesan office of communications first. At the same time, there is a lively debate in the whole communications universe about digital versus print. In these current debates, first it is important for our own Episcopal communications universe to know how all the fellow Episcopalians that are served consume the news. Secondly, it is important to advocate for what we believe is the right mix.
“I want you to know that you have my support in your quest for free-flowing, transparent communication that enables the ministry of the baptized,” she said. “I believe that communication is a mission priority for our Church and needs to be recognized as such. For me, this falls into the category of an ‘infrastructure rebuild’.
We are excited that churches and church “headquarters” of all denominations are starting to focus on efficient, thorough, healthy communication. Please let us know if we can help your church or denomination in your efforts to communicate better. (And yes… the House of Deputies has chosen ChurchPost to power their communications. We’re really excited about that too!)
