Church advertising boom

Christian Pop Culture

When Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" is a box-office sensation and the "Left Behind" novels about the Second Coming have been outselling all other fiction, some mainline Protestants believe they cannot afford to ignore popular culture. "When members of your church see other denominations on TV or hear their spots on the radio, they will just naturally ask, 'When are we going to do something like that?' " said Presbyterian Church spokeswoman Ann Gillies. "In this day and age, you have to have something in the media to tell your story."

Churches Go Commercial To Spread Their Message

Comments

Our church is going to be doing some advertising. We are looking at putting an ad in a magazine that is mailed directly to every home in our area. I'm looking for ideas.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Church advertising boom. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
