HARDING STUDENTS GO TO N.Y.C.-N.B.C. STUDIOS

Nina News Worthy reporting here on the latest news in Christian Chronicles.Org.

Ten Harding journalism students from Arkansas led by Communications Professor Jack Shock flew into NewYork City to visit Lester Holt member of the Mahattan Church of Christ and co-anchor of NBC weekend edition.
One of the professionals from the Church of Christ they met was a New York resident Amy Blankenship a Harding Alumnus & president of 'Shop with Style'( on the web),
a creative gift company that reaches all ranges of media
She spoke of her life with a Christian faith in a city like New York
They found New Yorkers to be kind and accepting and willing to learn. They also met a local graphic artist transplanted from Arkansas to New York. They were told they would find New York Christians authentic in their faith.

Lester Holt shared his sincere approach to journalist broadcasting . And I quote: "There is a strong moral bearing to my job as a reporter." He noted what we do reflects our values, and for better or worse it has tremendous impact to change peoples lives. Lester spoke of how he has a moral responsibility to show compassion to the person he interviews. They came to realize that in a city of 7 million people as children of God, they reciprocate and appreciate being treated with kindness and respect .

One young lady noted that being a Christian in New York does not make you an outsider. New Yorker nature is to welcome one & all. However they were cautioned to respect & consider that there are many of different beliefs. The young visitors were eager to worship with Lester Holt and the Manhattan Church of Christ. And it was noted, that it is good to know where there is a thriving Christian Community in New York of mixed cultures and they know where to go to find it.

Remember: Enjoy the 'Big Apple' and visit the 'Manhattan Church of Christ' while visiting there soon...
