Unthinkable, that is, to everyone except a gay former Pentecostal preacher named Troy Perry. Perry founded METROPOLITAN COMMUNITY CHURCH in Los Angeles, and MCC has grown to include LGBT-positive congregations around the world. When Perry retired as head of the denomination in 2005, the REV. ELDER NANCY WILSON was elected to replace him. In her keynote addres s at MCC-LA's 40th anniversary celebration in October of this year, Wilson recounted highlights of the Church's history and pointed to the present and future challenges for its global ministry (produced by LUCIA CHAPPELLE, with intro music from "Don't Give Me That Old Time Religion" by REV. DELORES BERRY) . . . . . . . . . . . 17:03 [www.mccchurch.org] SEGMENT #2 - "TWO" Happy Holidays promo (voiced by CHRISTOPHER GAAL, with music from Tchaikovsky's holiday season perennial "March of the Toy Soldiers") . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :39 [www.thiswayout.org] SEGMENT #3 – Special announcement thanking the RAINBOW AMATEUR RADIOO ASSOCIATION for its support . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :31 [www.rara.org] SEGMENT #4 – We'll "STEP RIGHT UP" (excerpts from "Tykie's Comming Out" and "Hypnotized" from JEFF STRAKER's 2nd CD) to the "SWEET LIFE" ("Happy" and the title track from the 9th CD by CATIE CURTIS), and no "CASUALTIES" are expected ("Here to Stay" and "More Than This" from PHIL PUTNAM's 6th CD) on this upbeat edition of the20"AUDIOFILE" (with comments by each artist, hosted by CHRIS WILSON & JD DOYLE and written and produced with CHRISTOPHER DAVID TRENTHAM) . . . . . . . . . 7:27 [www.audiofile.org] = artist-supplied contact info = JEFF STRAKER CATIE CURTIS jeffstraker88@rogers.com stephanie@compassrecords.com www.jeffstraker.com www.catiecurtis.com PHIL PUTNAM www.philputnam.com Closing Credits/continuity. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:25 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:43 =============================== * =============================== ; STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT," THE "NEWSWRAP" CREW TOOK THE WEEK OFF TO ENJOY THE U.S. THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY, BUT THEY'LL BE BACK NEXT TIME WITH THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN OR AFFECTING THE GLOBAL L-G-B-T COMMUNITIES.
