The Middle East Council of Churches Launches a TV Channel and a Radio Station
Soon in the Ecumenical World!
In a new Ecumenical media initiative, the Middle East Council of Churches (MECC), and with great joy, is launching a television channel and radio station, which will be the voice of the Ecumenical movement and of the Churches committed to this mission in the region.
This project comes after equipping the production center and establishing the “Manbar Al-Kalima” platform at the Middle East Council of Churches, and launching their operations, and after gathering the Council’s audiovisual archives—a collection of fifty years of work.
The programming network consists of four sections: regular programming, news, liturgy, and Christian education programs and documentaries. The production will also focus on various current Church, Ecumenical, social, and humanitarian events and issues.
In his word for the occasion, the Secretary General of the Middle East Council of Churches Professor Michel Abs, said: " This channel speaks in the name of the Son of Man, and thus the intellectual challenge it faces is great, because it speaks the truth—and in our days, truth is a heavy burden. May the Lord bless those who carry it."
As we celebrate Pentecost, and after completing the launch preparations, the MECC will hold a press conference on next Monday, at 1pm Beirut Time, to announce the start of broadcasting, which in the first stage will be limited to a few hours a day—recurrent several times daily—until it becomes continuous 24-hour broadcasting.
Stay tuned for this new Ecumenical production!
