'Listen up, rappin' crew, come on in and take a pew'... Church tries to appeal to the young
Church of England: Wants you to go ‘Back to Church [on] Sunday’

The Video
In an attempt to boost their numbers, the Church of England have organized a ‘Back to Church Sunday’ campaign with Christian media company, Whistling Frog Productions.
Along with the aid of traditional word-of-mouth, and a snazzy YouTube video, the Church of England has decided to run its first ever radio campaign. They hope that by doing so, they can appeal to more people than normal. They’ve asked all the parishes to pull together in order to foot the £400-900 bill.
Although the YouTube video shows more of an older conservative crowd attending, a portion of the radio spot is read as a rap:
‘Don’t look to make no airs and graces, faked up smiles and masked up faces. No need to make no innovation, please accept this as your invitation..
