A monologue is a voice talking at you; a dialogue is a conversation. Of
course, dialogue does not preclude persuasion (argument!) and change. In
many ways we live in a society in which, more than in any previous society,
people are surrounded by voices telling them what to do - namely adverts.
These can be seen as an insidious form of monologue. Sometimes it feels
as if there is not much we can do about this, short of defacing the billboards
or boycotting commerical television.

The church feels a need to advertise too. Students could devise their own
'Go to Church!!!' Ad campaign. One of them most successful recent models
involved paralleling Jesus with Che Guevara. Some accused this campaign
of blasphemy - see:
