Why Church of England needs new PR team to win back worshippers

FATHER Neil McNicholas’s recent article in The Yorkshire Post on church attendance after Covid is a sad reflection on the modern world but the question should be asked: what should the church do to get people back into the pews?

There is talk of selling off buildings and a further “management of the decline”. This cannot be right. Buildings do matter. They are part of our national Christian heritage.

The church seems to think it is above using PR techniques. However badly off the church is, it does have enough funds to run a PR campaign and the clergy should not turn their noses up, as if the very idea is beneath any good Christian.

When every materialist outlet is using PR to promote their ideas, why is it considered so ungodly to try and beat them at their own game?

Just look at the opportunities that are being missed.

There are the statistics that show that children and young people brought up in the Christian faith are less likely to take drugs, get divorced or end up in serious trouble with the law.

And why is there so much competition to get children into “church” schools?

So Christianity is good for you! So why can’t we shout this message out through the media loud and clear?
