...REPORT ON SERVICE displayed the churches' keen awareness of social change and its effect on Christian life. It called on the church to "strive actively for racial justice" and urged Christians from rich nations to help poorer lands. It urged Christians "to work for political institutions which encourage participation of all citizens, and which protect both the person's freedom of conscience and his freedom to express his convictions . . .

But admen themselves are badly split on just what advertising should do. "Advertising should be creative and edifying and should strive to be an art form," says Doyle Dane Bernbach's Maxwell Dane (whose agency has won plaudits for its artful ads for Volkswagen, Polaroid, and El Al Israel Airlines). But Norman B. Norman, president of Norman Craig and Kummel, insists that "the business of advertising is solely to move goods. You bastardize...
