Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping

Bill Talen is the preacher at the Church of Stop Shopping. His performance art persona, Reverend Billy, leads congregants and choir members in anti-corporate songs and prayers for an end to consumerism. The Church is a 501(c)(3) based in New York City, almost entirely volunteer run, that has arrived in the national limelight, with guerrilla performances like the one below in Victoria’s Secret in SoHo.
