Connecting people is what I love to do. Connecting them with one another, connecting them with God, Who loves them infinitely. This morning I created the press room for THE ISM Network to write the press releases about the shows, topics and guests that will be featured weekly on THE ISM Network of shows.

These shows are a simple attempt to share what is going on in the Churches within the Independent Sacramental Movement (Independent Catholics, Old Catholics, and other sacramental Christians), and to educate those who have never heard of these Catholic Christians before. It is our hope that education will lead to less bigotry, and allow for ministry without conflict.

The shows do try to bring people together, but they also address the spirituality that nourishes individuals as they live the Christian Faith, hopefully bringing them closer to God, as well as one another.

If these shows can do this for even one person...then they are worth all the effort in the world!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) – May 07, 2008 – Bishop Joseph Grenier, Ph.D., Presiding Bishop of The Celtic Christian Church (http://www.celticchristianchurch.org) and Rev. Cait Finnegan, a priest in the CCC, have begun THE ISM Network on BlogTalkRadio.

Together they host two shows a week. The first is called "The Independent Catholic" and addresses topics pertinent to members of the Independent Sacramental Movement and those who are interested in it. The second show they host together is called: "Spirituali-TEA" which is a less formal show about bringing spirituality and religion into the family, around the kitchen table, in ways that make a difference to each member of the family. Various religious and spiritual topics are discussed weekly.

Plans are being made to offer these shows is Spanish in the near future.

Rev. Finnegan hosts a third show dedicated to the spirituality of animal care called: "St. Ciaran's Critter Connection" where she talks with owners of domestic animals, animal caregivers, therapy and service animal team members, and members of the medical profession who care for animals about the spirituality involved in the human/animal bond.

Each of these shows hosts an online chat room for listeners to communicate with one another and with the hosts, and invites listeners to call the program to talk with the hosts and guests.

Those who may be interested in any of these shows and the topics they address and who may like to be guests on the show are encouraged to contact THE ISM Network at: THEISMNetwork@aol.com or Cait@ptd.net.

THE ISM Network is a live internet talk radio program with various segments addressing various religious and spiritual topics of interest.
