ROBERT CHASE LEAVING UCC COMMUNICATIONS POST
[SOURCE: United Church of Christ, AUTHOR: Bennett Guess]
The Rev. Robert Chase, the UCC's communication director, is leaving to become director of a New York-based justice organization. The consistory of Collegiate Church of New York has called Chase to be founding director of Intersections, a major global initiative that hopes to build a culture of justice and peace by creating opportunities for people and organizations to come together to share diverse viewpoints. Since 1999, Chase has served as team leader for the UCC's Proclamation, Identity and Communication Ministry Team, where he was one of the architects of the denomination's highly successful "God is still speaking" advertising and identity campaign. He also served as publisher of United Church News, with a circulation of more than 200,000, and directed the UCC's web ministry and award-winning video production department. Chase also served simultaneously as executive director of the UCC's Office of Communication, Inc. (OC, Inc.), the denomination's historic media advocacy organization, based in Washington, D.C., that seeks media access for all sectors of society, especially those who have been historically marginalized.
