Church sells marketing to fill pews in bold ad plan
First United Methodist Church launches a paid advertising campaign to boost attendance. Rev. Edwin Taylor says the church must market itself like a service business, with non religious language and messages such as Meet Our Qualified Service Manager and Same Day Service. Attendance rose with past ads but later declined.

Evangelism drive aims to raise 1 billion by 1982
Bill Bright and Campus Crusade announce a global $1 billion campaign to spread Christ's message by 1982, enlisting stars Roy Rogers and Dale Evans and business leaders. The plan seeks $100 million by 1978 with about $30 million pledged, expanding Here's Life America to a worldwide effort using media, radios, and circuit riding theaters, while denying political aims. Bright notes cooperation with authorities, not opposition, and officials seek new funding sources without duplicating other Christian groups.
