VOICES OF WITNESS wins Polly Bond Award for Excellence!

Episcopal News Service has announced the 2007 Polly Bond Award winners honored yesterday at the annual meeting of Episcopal Communicators . Integrity was thrilled with the news that "Voices of Witness" -- the documentary produced in collaboration with our Claiming the Blessing partners -- received the award for excellence in the video/DVD category!

[ENS, Virginia Beach] Episcopal communications -- from a balsa hand glider imprinted for Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori's investiture, to disaster recovery news stories, webcast Advent Meditations and an Episcopal Life bag -- were among Polly Bond Award-winning entries at an April 26 evening Episcopal Communicators banquet.

"I can't get over some of the valiant efforts I see all over the Anglican Communion to communicate the Gospel of Jesus Christ, a gospel of inclusion and new life that the whole world is desperate to hear," Canon Jim Rosenthal told the gathering of Episcopal Communicators at Virginia Beach's Cavalier Hotel. About 120 communicators are attending the April 25-28 annual meeting of church professionals from parishes, dioceses and national agencies across the country.

Blog Faerie Commandments

Thou shalt be a current Integrity member; for as the
Psalmist says, “No good thing will YHWH withhold from those who walk with integrity.”
Thou shalt post legitimate news and public opinion
from recognized sources; for few blogs are fonts of true wisdom.
Thou shalt not post gossip; for it is serious sin that nobody preaches about anymore.
Thou shalt not include thine own opinions in posts; but thou mayest post thine own opinions using the comments feature.
Thou shalt not post hate speech nor engage in personal attacks against thy neighbor—neither in posts nor in comments. Love thy neighbor as thyself.
Though shalt post items that emphasize the LGBT-positive side of issues whenever possible; for there are more than enough blogs devoted to denegrating us.
Though shalt mostly post items dealing with LGBT
equality in The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion; but thou mayest post some LGBT secular news and LGBT news from other faith traditions.
Thou shalt not post copyrighted material in its
entirety; for it is abhorrent to the United States government. Rather, thou shalt post an excerpt or summary with a link to the original source.
Thou shalt cite the original source (author,
title, affiliation, publisher, date) of a post whenever possible; thus may readers direct their rants and raves in the right direction.
Thou shalt be wise with the quantity of material thou posteth to the blog; for the reader unsubscription rate is inversely proportional to the number of daily posts.
Thou shalt replace shaped quotation marks and
apostrophies (“ ” ’) with straight equivalents (" " ') whenever possible; for shaped characters are not supported by all e-mail servers.
Though mayest embed YouTube and Google video clips in a post but thou shalt also provide a hyperlink to the clip; for the clip itself may be stripped out of the e-mail version.
Thou shalt include graphics with thine posts when possible; for plain text is really boring.
