Each year, the WACC, which provides funding for communication development
worldwide on behalf of churches throughout the world, is channeling less of its funds into large shortwave services and large publishing houses, and more into the development of small printing presses, the production of audiocassettes, local drama and music groups, and the use of communication forms indigeneous to the village life, such as story telling, puppets and mime.
As head
of external relations for the Moscow Patriarchate
of the Russian Orthodox
Church, Hilarion is responsible for talking to global Christianity
on behalf of the 150 million people in Russian Orthodoxy
worldwide.
