Non-Traditional Church Ad
(Filed under: Examples)Brian Baute blogs about a non-traditional church ad for Presbyterian Church of the Covenant in Greensboro, N.C. that appeared in a local progressive paper. He quotes the text of the ad (I'd love to see a scan of it) and though he likes parts of it, challenges it as going too far in trying to be relevant. Frankly, I'm less interested in Brian's tangent about accepting/rejecting culture and more interested in the church's ad. Placing an ad in this kind of local paper is a gutsy thing to do (at least knowing the local papers in my area). I'd say if their authenticity backs up the ad, more power to 'em.

I live in Greensboro and this church is a really nice place to visit, but they have COMPLETELY sacrificed the Gospel in the interest of being "relevant". It's really just one committee meeting away from becoming a Unitarian church.

I am looking for an email address for ---Church Impressions-3511 West Market Street-Greensboro, N.C.-27403-- I would like to contact them in regards to getting a permission slip to use a photo taken in the spring of 2000.
Thank you
Jane

It was actually Feb. 18th 2002 that Church Impressions went out of business. A whole lot of people were out of work for a year or more because of that. I was one of them. Ugh.
