Religion In <strong>American</strong> Life, Inc.<br />
Religion In <strong>American</strong> Life (RIAL) is a<br />
unique cooperative program <strong>of</strong> some 50 major<br />
national religious groups (Catholic, Eastern<br />
Orthodox, Jewish, Protestant, Muslim, etc.). It<br />
provides services for denominationally-supported,<br />
congregation-based outreach <strong>and</strong><br />
growth projects such as the current Invite a<br />
Friend program. These projects are promoted<br />
through national advertising campaigns reaching<br />
the <strong>American</strong> public by the use <strong>of</strong> all media.<br />
The ad campaigns are produced by a volunteer<br />
agency with production-distribution <strong>and</strong> administration<br />
costs funded by denominations <strong>and</strong><br />
business groups, as well as by individuals.<br />
Since 1949, RIAL ad campaign projects have<br />
been among the much coveted major campaigns<br />
<strong>of</strong> The Advertising Council. This results in as<br />
much as $35 million worth <strong>of</strong> time <strong>and</strong> space in<br />
a single year, contributed by media as a public<br />
service. Through RIAL, religious groups demonstrate<br />
respect for other traditions <strong>and</strong> the value <strong>of</strong><br />
religious freedom. The RIAL program also<br />
includes seminars <strong>and</strong> symposia, research <strong>and</strong><br />
leadership awards <strong>and</strong> produces a weekly syndicated<br />
radio broadcast, “SpiriTalk”.<br />
