Like many Canadians, I grew up in the Protestant United Church of Canada [Wikipedia] and then stopped going after confirmation, though in my case it was not apathy but teenage experimentation with Christian fundamentalism (I didn’t inhale, much) that kept me away. Today, while our American cousins to the south enjoy their election day — at least, those Americans with access to working voting machines — I’d like people to reconsider some of their negative stereotypes about religious organizations by taking a look at the United Church’s new ad campaign, featuring such attractions as a shopping mall Jesus, a bible filled with Post-it bookmarks, and whipped cream intended for non-gastronomic purposes. Enjoy.
