INC enhances weekly TV show to cope with ‘fast- changing’ media
INC Chronicles, a weekly television feature-documentary focusing on the rich history and community-building efforts of the Iglesia Ni Cristo’s local congregations, has recently undergone tech- driven enhancements to make the show “more visually engaging in today’s fastchanging media landscape.”
With sharper cinematography, spruced up digital graphics, and creative animation, the reenvisioned program aims to better connect with today’s younger audiences and those yet unfamiliar with the Church’s storied beginnings, the INC said in a statement.
INC Chronicles’ new visually compelling episodes highlight the struggles, lessons, and timeless Christian values that marked the Iglesia Ni Cristo’s formative years in various communities around the Philippines and abroad, the religious denomination added.
The program seeks to create a deeper appreciation for the Church’s history and how its spiritual and humanitarian activities have been helping drive community growth and empowerment for over a century.
INC Chronicles is broadcast every Thursday at 3:30 p.m. on INCTV, with reruns every Thursday at 8:30 p.m. and Sunday at 10:00 p.m. It is a co-production of the Christian Era Broadcasting Service International Inc. (CEBSI Inc.), the religious media arm of the INC and the INC Museum.
In an interview, INC museum director, Cornelio Cortez, emphasized the value of chronicling the story of the INC and expressed gratitude for the Church’s continued growth. “The hand of God is present during all those decades. We are thankful,” he stated.
According to Cortez, the INC’s dedication to preserving its history and cultural heritage is also reflected in the INC Museum which houses over 17,000 protected catalog items inside temperaturecontrolled and humidity-monitored rooms.
