OK...now I have heard all types of advertising. I am listening to a rock station here in DC and a local church just advertised its "services" (almost a wordplay, right?).  The speaker (hard to say if it was the pastor) quoted, get this, the SPICE GIRLS (about stuff in your past). If this is not a naked attempt to appeal to a younger set, I don't know what is. In any case, the speaker informs us that therapy and/or drugs can never help us get rid of guilt--only forgiveness can (of course one can forgive or be forgiven through the help of therapy, but whatever). And then, he tells us to go to a website to learn more.  Now, I have heard of membership drives and spreading the word, but I truly haven't heard a church advertise on a mainstream radio station. This tells me two things--the church is seeking to increase its membership from a certain age demographic and the church has decided to do things in a more 21st Century fashion--get them where they are.  Interesting. I would be very interested in knowing if this type of appeal works. In theory, it should, at least stimulate some interest. I wonder if the church hired an ad agency, or a pr agency. This certainly is part of larger recruiting campaign.
