Welcome to the BCA Website
This website was created by and for the members of the Baptist Communicators Association to enhance their professional knowledge and to serve as a networking tool among its members. BCA is a national professional organization of persons who serve in editorial, public relations, electronic media, photography, management, marketing and graphic design positions principally within Baptist agencies and institutions. The organization exists to inspire, inform and educate its more than 250 members who serve in these communications roles. Each year, a BCA-sponsored workshop offers professional development and networking opportunities for Baptist communicators. In 2009, that workshop will be held April 15-18 in Nashville, Tenn., with a theme “Finding Your Voice.” A national awards competition held annually encourages professional excellence among association members and recognizes members who have done exemplary work. And this BCA Website provides a forum for members to share ideas and inspiration as members share case studies, resources and examples of good work. It also serves as an avenue for members to network and communicate with their counterparts across the nation. Because this is your Website, look through it, consider your own work and see how you can plug into BCA. |

READ MORE Viewing with alarm no more
When I was associate editor of the Oklahoma Baptist Messenger 1984-87, editor Dick McCartney would wander into my office occasionally trolling for an editorial idea. He would ask, What should I view with alarm this week? It was always funny because as every talk show shock jock, headline writer and book hawker knows, the clanging jangle of alarm sells. Nobody reads a story that says the ...
READ MORE BCA workshop attendees - don't just attend another meeting... leave your mark!
Another year, another set of meetings. Whether it's BCA, your annual state convention, or various other gatherings, none of us suffer from lack of meetings. I read this week that if you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings." I'm not sure if that's the case, but in Baptist life "meetin...
