Methodists spending $1.5 million on TV ad campaign to help you ‘find yourself’

NASHVILLE – A new television message entitled “Finding Yourself” recognizes that what people show on the outside is not always what is happening in our hearts.

The commercial is the latest component of The United Methodist Church’s “Open hearts. Open minds. Open doors.” media campaign, and airs for the first time today.

“Through this commercial, we are encouraging people to find themselves as they show others what’s really going on inside. In doing so, they can find a path to God within a loving community – the people of The United Methodist Church,” said the Rev. Larry Hollon, chief executive of United Methodist Communications.

The commercial features various people exhibiting one face to the outside world, but wearing a screen that functions as a window to their hearts and shows what they are really feeling.

The national ad campaign will run now through Easter on the following cable networks: BET, CNN, Animal Planet, CNBC, Hallmark, CNN Headline News, HGTV, MSNBC, Oxygen, SciFi, TBS, TVLand, USA, the Food Network, and the Weather Channel. The commercial will air 963 times at a cost of nearly $1.5 million and is expected to reach 55 million adults 25-54 years of age.

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — Most Alabama residents say they have a religious faith, and a majority in a new poll showed they have a basic knowledge of the Bible.

For example, nearly 70 percent of respondents to last week’s Press-/sRegister/University of South Alabama survey correctly named all four Gospels.

“They don’t call it the Bible Belt for nothing,” said Keith Nicholls, a political scientist and director of the USA Polling Group, which conducted the poll.

The poll showed that Alabama residents know more about the Bible than other Americans.
