Just as it celebrates its 57th anniversary of weekly radio broadcasts, 'The Protestant Hour' will experience momentous changes beginning July 7, when the Atlanta-based radio ministry launches a television version, adopts a new program name, and welcomes a fifth denomination--the United Church of Christ--to a production partnership that includes the Episcopal Media Center, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), and the United Methodist Church.
The new 'Day 1' television program will air at 10 a.m. as a segment of 'America at Worship,' a morning of preaching, music, and worship from great congregations and ministries across the nation. 'America at Worship' airs on Hallmark Channel Sundays from 9 a.m. to noon, ET/PT.
'Day 1' is the new name for the long-running radio series as well as the new television program, effective in July.
Produced in association with Faith & Values Media, 'Day 1' will feature highlights from the sermon presented on the radio program and Web site each week, as well as a panel discussion by representatives from the five participating denominations examining the sermon's Scripture passages.
'‘Day 1' will bring an exciting new source of high-quality preaching and discussion to ‘America at Worship,'' said Edward J. Murray, president and CEO of Faith & Values Media. 'Partnership with the ‘Day 1' producers ensures that Faith & Values Media's Sunday worship presence will bring viewers the richest variety of inspiration, prayer, and preaching to be found anywhere on Sunday morning television.'
The Protestant Hour, Inc., also recently launched a redesigned version of its popular Web site, available at www.protestanthour.com and www.day1.net.
