Sat, 4 August 2007  CommaKazi Speek Podcast Show 17Aug. 4, 2007 An interview with Kem Meyer, communications director at Granger Community Church, Granger, Indiana, USA I interviewed Kem Meyer of Granger Community Church just after she had led a day-long communication workshop for church communicators. I also got reactions from some of my fellow workshop participants. We discussed the similarities and differences between communications produced by a church, by other not-for-profit organizations, and the corporate world. How does Granger Church manage to be edgy in the often staid world of organized religion?
