SUNDAY SCHOOL BOARD OF THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE FOREWORD Southern Baptists have made history in the collection of data on churches during 1950. For the first time since the Department of Sur­ vey, Statistics, and Information was formed in 1920, a report has been received from every association for work done in the churches during the current year. This record involves work done by multiplied thou­ sands of organization’s secretaries and church clerks. Primary credit must go to the work done by the associational clerks and the state statistical officers. Reports received from Southern Baptist churches are classified in four different groups: open country churches; churches located in villages of less than 500 population; churches located in towns with Copyright, 1951 500-2500 population; and churches located in cities with more than BROADMAN PRESS 2500 population. These classifications are also separated according to Nashville, Tennessee the number of preaching services held each month, since experience has shown that there is a positive correlation between the number of service, the location of the*church and the record reported. Data on each church are tabulated on an IBM business machine card, making possible a great deal of information which would be diffi­ cult to tabulate monthly. For example, a study bn the tenure of pastors in their present pastorates is made available and a report on the number of churches organized during different periods. It has also been possible to know that progress is being made in the open country as well as in the city. The complete 1950 Survey Bulletin is published in the Handbook with a cross index by subject matter, an invaluable aid to church workers. The list of ministers is omitted since it will be published in the 1951 Southern Baptist Convention Annual. In closing, I should like to recognize the following members of the staff who have worked on some phase of the publication: Mrs. R. G. Courtney. Mrs. Carl Hester, Mrs. Joe Nicholson, and Mrs. Joe Roberts. Porter Routh, Editor
