Broadcasting Policy

Aim

Our broadcasting policy is first and foremost to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to the glory of God. To build up believers in their faith, and to lead people to faith in Christ.

Basis

The Bible is the only basis. Views based on revelations, dreams, manifestations, and visions should be in line with Scripture.

Approach

The full counsel of God is proclaimed. We place emphasis on the victory of Jesus Christ through His death on the cross. His resurrection, His ascension. and His second coming.

Unbiblical Viewpoints

Should an unbiblical opinion be posed, the general spirit and trend of the programme should so reflect the Word that the Biblical viewpoint finds acceptance among listeners.

Broadcasting Policy – Denominations

Radio Cape Pulpit does not grant opportunities to churches per se. It invites individuals with presentation abilities, from various churches, to present or take part in programmes. No proselytising is allowed. All presenters must endorse our Statement of Faith. The station will not take part in, nor enhance church specific rituals and dogma.

Listeners

The programme content must reflect the broad spectrum of the listenership.

Funds

Only funds for Radio Cape Pulpit may be requested during broadcasts.

Broadcasting Policy – Other Faiths

Our broadcasting policy recognises that South Africa is a multi-religious country. Freedom of worship is guaranteed as a constitutional right. While the right of other religious groups to propagate their convictions is respected, the timeless, unchangeable truth of the gospel, as declared in Scripture, must be proclaimed with conviction. Destructive criticism of other religions is not allowed.

Controversial Matters, Persons, and Organisations

Radio Cape Pulpit is committed to being relevant and may cover these issues in designated programmes. All the above will be done under the guidance of the MD or his/her delegate. Theological and religious matters of lesser controversy over which Christians may differ must be handled with sensitivity. The MD or his/her representative may refer these matters to the TAC for advice. The propagating of party – political viewpoints is inadmissible.

Broadcasting Policy – Music

The music played may consist of different styles and presentations. We insist upon two absolute requirements for vocal music. The content must be consistent with Scripture (free interpretation). The words must be audible.

Rights reserved

Radio Cape Pulpit reserves the right to use its discretion in the choice and editing of all programmes according to its Broadcasting Policy and Statement of Faith. The Chief Executive Officer’s decision is final.
