The Episcopal Church's new 30-second TV spot targeting Generation X women to "come and grow" in local congregations airs this week nationally in a media buy coordinated by Time Warner Cable.

The ad features Gen-X priest Paige Blair of York Harbor, Maine, in a format set for replication in 2007 in Spanish (for airing in Puerto Rico and other Latin American dioceses) and in English in other regional settings.

The ad may be viewed online at http://www.comeandgrow.org/, and online contributions may be made through the website for the purchase of additional air time. Inquiries may be directed to Mike Collins, director of broadcast and multimedia communication at the Episcopal Church Center (800.334.7626).

Strategic local and regional buys are also augmenting the following coast-to-coast schedule, determined by affordability and high viewership among Gen-X women.
