Radio offers perhaps the
closest equivalent today of what Jesus was able to do with large
groups through His preaching. Radio is an intimate medium that can
reach people on the street, in their cars, or in their homes...
Radio may well be the most cost-effective means of reaching numbers
of people who may not want to read or may lack exposure to Catholic
publications - but will be willing to 'eavesdrop' on Catholic radio
stations."

Introduction
|
Of all the radio stations broadcasting on the Gulf Coast. One-third to One-fourth of these stations are identified as
broadcasting "religious, Christian Contemporary or Gospel" programming.
All of these can be can objectively classified as conveying "Protestant"
themes. Until now, Catholic teaching has not being heard over the radio airwaves in
the Gulf Coast. But WDWR brings you Divine Word Radio, the fullness of truth found in the Catholic Church.
Catholic radio covers the 3 "E's": Evangelization, Education, and Ecumenism. Catholic radio, as much as any other means, serves Evangelization by helping bring lapsed Catholics and others to the fullness of truth. Catholic radio educates those Catholics in the pews to gain a deeper understanding of their faith. And for those individuals who may never convert to the Catholic faith, Catholic radio serves ecumenism by teaching our Protestant bretheren that we are closer in thought than they may have thought.
Please
consider praying for us, volunteering to help us, and contributing to
our capital and operating needs. With your help, 1230-AM can carry out the 3 E's of Catholic radio. Without your support, we can't succeed. |
