The Federal government is sending employees into churches to talk about the impending analog-to-digital television transition, as Nathan Olivarez-Giles of the Los Angeles Times reports.
"We need people to take up leadership in their community and make sure nobody gets left out in the switch," FCC Commissioner Jonathan S. Adelstein said during a public forum at the Mount Moriah Baptist Church in South Los Angeles. "Churches already have the infrastructure in place to do that."
Standing at the church pulpit, Adelstein asked the Baptist Ministries Conference of Los Angeles, nearly 50 African American preachers who meet once a month, to include information on the June 12 digital TV switch in their sermons.
So much for separation of church and state.
