Is church branding kosher? Years ago as an advertising copywriter, I penned a line for a local Methodist Church to encourge Sunday attendance.

According to Brand Channel, there's even an agency dedicated to church branding, and it's guided by biblical principles, according to its founder, who cites 1 Corinthians 9: "I become all things to all people. When I'm with the Jews, I'll talk as a Jew. When I'm with the Gentiles, I'll talk as a Gentile." Read more here.
