Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The invitation reflects the market theory of religion, which suggests that religious organizations might engage in activities to attract or retain members, similar to how businesses operate in a market to attract consumers. By sponsoring a community hockey game and inviting people to a service afterwards, the church is engaging in an activity that appeals to the community's interests, potentially increasing participation and membership.
