Communications

For decades Angels Studio, a ministry of the Society of the Divine Word’s Chicago Province, has developed and supported programs and resources to promote ethnic equality and understanding among the races.

Founded by Divine Word Missionary priest Derek Simons and based in Chicago, the independent production house has won numerous broadcasting awards. As technology has changed so have the ways that Angels Studio has used it to communicate its message of racial harmony. In partnership with professional storytellers and diversity educators, Angels Studio created RaceBridges and its related projects.

RaceBridges, a non-sectarian, multimedia initiative, challenges injustice and exclusion and seeks to build community among all people. Through printed pieces, broadcast materials, digital media and live events, RaceBridges builds bridges across class and racial division in order to unify communities and lead to a better world for future generations.

Angels Studio contributes to a number of national and international interfaith communications projects and committees. Designed for people of all faiths and those of no particular religious faith, RaceBridges projects include RaceBridges Web Project, RaceBridges for Schools, Pray at Abraham’s Table and JustStories.
