Church Marketing That Sucks

I just came across a really neat website (via Kathy Sierra's Creating Passionate Users weblog), called Church Marketing that Sucks. Whatever your thoughts on the website name, it's aim is the following:

"...frustrate, educate and motivate the church to communicate, with uncompromising clarity, the truth of Jesus Christ."

Christian or not; believer or not; I think that there is some real value in this site. Aside from the Christian articles and observations, there are some good reviews of websites, promos, fliers and even radio commercials. Each one is  accompanied with a brief overview of the ogranisation, the promotional tool they're using and some questions for readers on how to improve the site. It's these question prompts that really deliver the value.

Each article does seem to have some pretty good advice from readers, who are both from the 'community' and have expereince in marketing, web design or similar. I love the idea of opening up a website to a comunity which is both passionate (read: Christian in this case) and knowledgeable (read: experienced in their industry) and inviting them to offer their honest opinions.

Just check these out to see what I mean:
