The Lutheran Magazine ran this story announcing the end of the Mosaic Video series and our Life of Apostle Peter with Rick Steves video.
The Life of Apostle Peter with host Rick Steves is the final episode of Mosaic Television.
Launched in 1988, Mosaic was the quarterly video program produced by ELCA Communication Services. It was intended for educational use in a variety of congregational settings.
Steves is host of the public TV series Rick Steves’ Europe and has written more than 30 books on European travel. He and his family are members of Trinity Lutheran Church, Lynnwood, Wash.
“We will be restructuring the way we deliver video materials for the future, and this [Dec. 1, 2007] will be the last episode of Mosaic as we know it,” said Ava Odom Martin, director for public media with Communication Services.
“Today, with Internet video resources like YouTube and digital video cameras, the job of storytelling is shifting from the churchwide office to the synods, congregations and the individual baptized members,” said Tim Frakes, writer and producer, who began working with Mosaic in 1993.
Frakes resigned in March 2007 to form Tim Frakes Productions, Lombard, Ill.
The ELCA Mission Investment Fund is funding duplication of? The Life of Apostle Peter and its distribution to the ELCA’s 10,322? congregations.
