This month, the Brethren Missionary Herald Company announces its new monthly podcast! Designed to be a companion to the bi-monthly FGBC World, the podcast, or online audio broadcast, will include expanded or updated interviews with individuals featured in the current issue of the magazine. It will also feature the music written by worship pastors in the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches (FGBC), historical recordings, and other audio content.

This podcast includes an interview with the current moderator of the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches, Tom Hocking, who invites Grace Brethren people to attend the upcoming Celebrate 2010, the annual conference of the FGBC. Featured music is by Jason Strain, pastor of creative arts at Community of Hope, a Grace Brethren church in Surrey, British Columbia. (Jason also adapted one of his original songs for the intro music.) The program concludes with a step back in time to hear a portion of an early broadcast from the Gospel Truth, a radio program produced by what was then the National Fellowship of Brethren Churches. This particular re-broadcast is from February 1, 1948 and features Miles Taber, then editor of the Brethren Missionary Herald, with a talk on The Lord’s Supper — So Called.

The podcast will be available here during the first week of each month. You may also subscribe to it on I-Tunes.
