Marketing the church is hot. For many church leaders, marketing might even be the first article of their creed, which goes something like this: "We believe that our church determines its identity and mission through the tactics of marketing strategies." Theologians Kenneson and Street offer a thoughtful and provocative protest, with a foreword from Stanley Hauerwas.
