Religious institutions all over the nation are ramping up their branding and marketing efforts. We’re looking at why and how this is happening.

Murphy, Professor and Director of Catholic Studies at Loyola University Chicago, join us on this week’s episode of WBEZ’s “Faith Forward.” Photo: Flickr/COD Newsroom
