HE Yearbook of American Churches is a reference work presenting T comprehensive information mainly about organized religion in the United States. A directory of certain of the Canadian churches is, however, included. The Yearbook for 1941 consists chiefly of directories, nine of which list a large number of officials of church agencies and of organizations in which churches have an interest. A new feature of this edition is the inclusion of a complete directory of cooperative field organizations, made available by The Inter-Council Field Department. The Annals of Organized Religion were prepared by five authors who summarized major events of 1939 and 1940. These are very brief histories. For interpretation the authors are personally responsible. The section on statistics presents the *‘latest information* * available, par­ ticularly the figures for church membership. A compilation of the recent data for all the known religious bodies in the United States has been made by the Editor. This includes membership officially reported by the statis­ tician, or as made available by the Census of Religious Bodies, 1936. This Census was incomplete for certain bodies, but regarded as very satisfactory by others. Many bodies which do not make annual tabulations of church membership have specifically instructed us to use the 1936 figures, which were made public in 1940, and are “the latest information” available. For explanatory notes about the statistics, see the section below. The Editor of the Yearbook simply collects and presents, often in brief form, data supplied by others. He does not engage in original research. Therefore what is here presented is sent in by cooperative individuals from official sources, or, in a few instances, from published yearbooks or the publications of the Bureau of the Census. The Yearbook is “edited under the auspices of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America,” but the content is inclusive and becomes a reference work touching upon all the interests of organized religion in the nation. This Yearbook became a useful work for the years 1933 to 1939 through four biennial editions, largely through the devotion of the late Dr. H. C. Weber, of the General Council of the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A. The present Editor knows at first hand of the valuable contributions made by Dr. ^Weber, usually at great personal sacrifice. The Editor is also aware of his personal debt to the one who has preceded him. He also acknowledges valuable assistance from the staff of the Department of Research and Edu­ cation of the Federal Council. Benson Y. L andis IV I.

METHODIST BODIES THE METHODIST CHURCH In April» 1939, the Uniting Conference forming The Methodist Church was held by represen­ tatives of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the Methodist Episcopal Church, South and the Methodist Protestant Church. Since that time unification or boards and agencies has been in process. The Methodist Church in the United States originated with the efforts of John and Charles Wesley, leaders of the revival movement in England, who preached in Georgia, 1736-7.

The Methodist Episcopal Church, South, dates from 1846, the separation from the Methodist Episcopal Church having taken place over the slavery issue.

Sources of Statistical Data The statistical section includes a compilation of ‘‘the latest information” about church membership in the country, made by the Editor for this volume; the latest published figures on contributions compiled by the United Stewardship Council for many of the larger bodies; and a summary of tabulations made for 1931 to 1940 inclusive by various compilers. The compilation for all bodies made for this book was assembled in the follow­ ing manner. A blank was mailed November 15, 1940, to the chief statistical officer of all of the bodies that reported to the Census of Religious Bodies, 1936. This form asked for data officially reported on the number of local churches, on inclu­ sive church membership, and on membership 13 years of age and over. A second request to those not replying was mailed December 15, 1940, and a third on January 2, 1941. By this method membership officially reported was secured for most churches. Many officers of bodies that do not make annual tabulations of their memberships simply replied by asking us to ‘‘use 1936.” The 1936 figures were tabulated and made public by the Bureau of the Census in 1940, and thus become for many churches the latest publicly reported data about their members. A very small proportion of the smaller bodies did not reply to a third request, and the 1936 census data, published in 1940, are given below for these bodies also. It is possible that in so doing an incomplete report is made for certain of these bodies, but we have at least listed “the latest information” publicly reported. The 1936 Census of Religious Bodies is regarded as complete and satisfactory by certain denominations, even groups of denominations. By others it is regarded as very incomplete. For a discussion of this census, see the special note on the subject in this section. It will be noted that the table below gives the latest fiscal year for which information is available. Many denominations do not have records for the proportion of membership 13 years of age and over. For those not reporting on this item, we have applied the percentage for this age group reported by the Census of Religious Bodies, and have in each case indicated that this is an estimate.

POPULATION AND CHURCH MEMBERSHIP The total population of the United States on April 1, 1940, was 131,669,275, according to the final count based on the returns of the 16th Decennial Census, announced December 1940. In comparison with the 1930 population of 122,775,- 046, this figure represents an increase of 8,894,229. This change constitutes an increase of 7.2 per cent between 1930 and 1940. The rate of increase in the decade 1930-1940 is less than one-half that shown in any previous decade since the first census in 1790. During the decade 1930-1940, for the first time in the history of the Nation, the number of emigrants was greater than the number of immigrants. Between April I, 1930 and April 1, 1940, the number of persons who left the United States for foreign lands exceeded by 46,518 the number who entered. (See Census Release December 4, 1940, Series P -2 ). Thus during the past decade, all of the increase in population took place because of the excess of births over deaths. Tabulations of statistics of church membership are given above for the ten years 1931-1940 inclusive. During that time inclusive church membership officially reported increased 4,703,743 or 7.86 per cent. Population growth during approxi­ mately the same period was, as noted above, 7.2 per cent for the decade. 138 YEARBOOK OF AMERICAN CHURCHES

Total expenditures of, or contributions to, the religious bodies of the United States are not reported annually, and are not known for recent years at all. The only figures generally regarded as complete are for the year 1926, as reported by the Census of Religious Bodies for that year. At the Census of 1926, total expen­ ditures of 232,154 local churches of 213 religious bodies amounted to $817,214,- 528. Dr. C. Luther Fry in his interpretation of the 1926 Census, published in his book, The U. S. Looks At Its Churches, found these expenditures to be the equivalent of about 1 per cent of the estimated total income of all the people. In other words, during that year the churches received about one cent out of every dollar received by the people of the nation. The 1936 Census of Religious Bodies, (see note in this chapter) was incom­ plete. It recorded total expenditures of $518,953,571 for 199,302 local churches In 256 religious bodies. According to the official reports made to the Christian Herald for 1936 there were 245,422 local churches in 222 religious bodies. Thus roughly one-fifth of the local churches did not furnish the information. But possibly those not reporting were mainly the smaller churches, with less than average budgets. Therefore it is exceedingly difficult to make a reliable estimate of total expenditures of the churches, either for 1936, or 1940, the latest year under review in this Yearbook. In the 1939 Yearbook of American Churches, H. C. Weber, the editor, stated that the total contribution to all religious bodies “probably approximated $550,- 000,000.“ In 1940, the total amount was probably about $575,000,000 making an allowance for increase in the national income during the past two years. It may have been $600,000,000 in 1940. If so, it was slightly less than one per cent of the total national income as estimated by the Department of Commerce for that year. STATISTICS 1S9

THE 1936 CENSUS OF RELIGIOUS BODIES (Adapted from Information Service, New York, for Nov. 2, 1940) The decennial Censuses of Religious Bodies, made in 1906, 1916, 1926, have always been regarded as of the greatest importance because the census figures have been the only statistics about organized religion based completely upon a tabulation of reports from local congregations. All other compilations that have been made at various intervals for the Christian Herald, and, for example, the one for Information Service of the Federal Council of January 14, 1939, by Dr. Herman C. Weber, have been summaries of the totals furnished by the official statisticians of the denominations. Many denominations make periodic reports of membership and finance based upon tabulations of reports from local churches, but others do not. Hence the reliance of all interested in statistics of organized religion upon the data of the Bureau of the Census. On August 1, 1940, the Bureau of the Census of the Department of Commerce, Washington, issued a “United States Summary” of the Census of Religious Bodies: 1936, seven pages, No. 204. It stated that all figures for 1936 were “pre­ liminary and subject to correction.” The returns received for 1936 were for 256 religious bodies with 199,302 local churches and 55,807,366 members, as com­ pared with 213 religious bodies having 232,154 local churches and 54,576,346 members in 1926. “Each church was requested to report the number of members according to the definition of membership in that church or organization.” Of the 213 denominations reporting in 1926, nine were not shown for 1936. Of these, some were merged with other bodies, and the remainder were no longer in existence. Fifty-seven denominations, relatively small bodies, were reported for the first time in 1936; these were not all new, however; certain of them came into being by division from a previously reported body. When interested persons examined this release, the chief attention was na­ turally given to the decrease in the number of local churches reporting, 199,302 in 1936, compared with 232,154 in 1926, as noted above. This decline in the total number was reported in spite of notable increases in the number of local churches for certain bodies; for example the Assemblies of God, General Council, reported 2,611 churches in 1936 as compared with only 671 in 1926. Further cursory examination revealed, however, that the main difference in the number of churches reporting was to be found in the totals for three religious bodies as follows: Number of Local Churches Reporting 1926 Census 1936 Census Southern Baptist Convention...... 23,374 13,815 Methodist Episcopal...... 26,130 18,349 Methodist Episcopal, South...... 18,096 11,454 Total ...... 67,600 43,618 (The reports of other denominations also showed decreases but not to the number of the three above.) These three denominations reported in 1936 to The Christian Herald tabula­ tions of reports received from their local churches, as noted in the 1937 Year­ book of American Churches, as follows:

Number of Local Churches Reporting to Official Statistician 1936 Southern Baptist Convention ...... 24,537 Methodist Episcopal ...... 24,485 Methodist Episcopal, South...... 16,245 Total ...... 65,267 140 YEARBOOK OF AMERICAN CHURCHES

Thus it will be seen that thousands of local churches not reporting to the Bureau of the Census for 1936 actually existed. Why, then, the discrepancy, which marks the 1936 Census as “incomplete,** when compared with the rela­ tively satisfactory result secured in 1926? Study of the question reveals a number of factors. The 1936 Census of Religious Bodies can perhaps only be described as “ill- fated** from beginning to end. The Censuses of Religious Bodies for 1906, 1916, 1926 and 1936 were taken under authority of laws passed in 1906 and 1929. But Congress refused to vote the necessary funds for the Census of 1936. Then a group of religious leaders from many denominations requested President Roose­ velt to allocate discretionary relief funds in order to make the religious census possible 10 years after the one of 1926. The President complied with the request. However, less money was available in 1936 than in 1926. Exclusive of amounts for printing, $182,019 was spent to gather data in 1936. This compares with $283,188 spent for the same purpose in 1926. Census officials explain that they requested more funds, but were unable to secure them. They also state that in 1926 a greater variety of forms was printed using such terms as “conference** or “association** and that by simplifying forms economies were made in printing for 1936. In the latter year, 600,000 schedules were printed, compared with 950,000 in 1926. Each church not replying to a first request received a second schedule, and in the case of many denominations third and fourth requests were mailed. In addition, census officials explain that they sent “many hundreds** of telegrams. Is the explanation, then, to be found mainly in inadequate records, or unfamili­ arity with figures, or “just plain lethargy** of the ministers or clerks of numerous local churches? Certainly, these factors were also present in 1926, and a very satisfactory result was secured then. The main reason seems plainly to be that many ministers of certain denomina­ tions were not in as cooperative a mood in 1936 as in 1926, and that this attitude of non-cooperation extended so far that they would not even heed the earnest appeals of their own national officials to fill out schedules so as to assure a complete report for their own denominations. Much of the non-cooperation seems to have been occasioned by the adoption by the Bureau of the Census some years prior to 1936 of a uniform procedure of citing its legal authority on all schedules sent out. The Bureau takes about 100 censuses. In the early years of the depression, business houses often asked for citation of authority before filling in blanks received. The Bureau then began citing authority on all its forms. It thus published on the 1936 schedule for the Census of Religious Bodies in small type at the bottom of page 2 its “authority for collection of information” in the following words: “The information to be used as a basis of religious statistics is collected by the Census Bureau under authority of Acts of Congress approved June 7, 1906, and June 18, 1929. These Acts make it the duty of every person in charge of any religious body to answer ail questions on the printed schedule, applicable to the religious body, church, or organization; and upon refusal or neglect to comply, such person is subject to a fine not exceeding $500 or to imprisonment not exceeding 60 days, or both; and if any such person wilfully gives false answers, he is subject to a fine not exceeding $10,000 or to imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both.** The Bureau also published in large type at the top of page 1 of its schedule the following notice: “YOUR CENSUS REPORTS ARE CONFIDENTIAL.— Acts of Congress make it unlawful to disclose any facts, including names or identity, from your census reports. These laws are strictly enforced. Only sworn census employes can see your statements. Data collected are used solely for preparing statistical information. Your Census Reports Cannot be Used for Purposes of Taxation, Regu- STATISTICS 141 lation, or Investigation/* The same notice was printed in red type on the letter­ heads used by the Census Bureau in communications with ministers and clerks. It appears that certain ministers, noting the penalties for refusing to comply, reacted by saying, in effect, “All right we*II defy the government and challenge it to put us into jail.*’ Addresses were made by churchmen, and articles were written in the church press, urging non-cooperation, on the thesis that an attempt to gather statistics was an unwarranted interference by the state in the life of the church. The exact number of these addresses and articles is not known, but numerous clippings and photostatic copies of dippings have been examined in the course of this study. Rumors were circulated among ministers and by ministers that the 1936 Census of Religious Bodies was “just a New Deal proposition,” that this was an attempt by the New Deal to “invade** the church. The circulation of such rumors could, of course, only reflect on the intelligence of those who spread them, since the Act authorizing the first religious census was signed by Theodore Roosevelt on June 7, 1906, and a second Act relating to the Census was signed by Herbert Hoover on June 18, 1929. Benson Y. Landis IV. Annals of Organized Religion, 1939 and 1940 INTERFAITH DEVELOPMENTS By R obert A. A shworth The National Conference of Christians and Jews

The last two years have been marked by a very definite increase of sym­ pathetic interest on the part of all of the three major religious groups in America in the fortunes and in the activities of the other two. More in­ stances of cooperation, also, may be cited than ever before. Interfaith activity roughly falls into three classifications: (1) National activities and pronouncements sponsored by the National Conference of Christians and Jews, an association of individuals which is the largest inter faith organization in the country; (2) Interfaith action taken by Protestant, Catholic and Jewish groups separately; (3) Cooperative proj­ ects undertaken by agencies of the three faiths together, nationally and locally.

I. T he National Conference of C hristians and J ews During the two years under review the National Conference of Chris­ tians and Jews intensified its work in all departments. By the end of 1940 the Conference had expanded its activities to include nine regional offices with paid directors, located in New York, Washington, Chicago, Des Moines, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Dallas, Los Angeles and San Fran­ cisco. These offices undertook a widespread program in each area consist­ ing of the organization of community interfaith “round tables,” educational work in schools, colleges, churches, civic, labor, business and farm organi­ zations, and women’s and youth groups. During the same period, Religious News Service, the only national interfaith news agency in the country, which is operated by the Conference in the interests of the religious forces of the nation, expanded its services to include the radio, and began production of a weekly news program which is now used over leading stations, sponsored by local interfaith and church groups. Williamstown Institute of Human Relations During the Summer of 1939 the third biennial Williamstown Institute of Human Relations was held at Williams College in Massachusetts under the auspices of the National Conference and attracted nationwide attention. The Institute brought together the largest company of Protestants, 142 INTERFAITH DEVELOPMENTS 143

Catholics and Jews ever to assemble in the history of the world to discuss their mutual relations. Its theme was “Citizenship and Religion: a Con­ sideration of American Policy with regard to the Relations of Church and Synagogue to the State.” Daily forums were held on the following subjects: Religion and Education, Philosophies and Practices; Community Experi­ ments in Week-Day Religious Education; The Church and Economic Reform; Methods of Translating Moral Teaching into Legislation; The Church and W orld Peace. Among the topics of the evening sessions were: “Church and State: The Relation of Voluntary and Government Social W elfare W ork” ; “The Church and Political and Economic Systems (Fascism, Communism, Nazism and Democracy)” ; “The Church and Civil Liberties” ; “Cultural Diversity and National Unity.” Brotherhood Week The sixth and seventh annual observances of Brotherhood Week under the auspices of the Conference were held in 1939 and 1940. Brotherhood Week is observed during the week of Washington’s Birthday. It is pro­ jected with a view to cooperation on the part of Protestants, Catholics and Jews and its general theme during the seven years since it was initiated lias been “Make America Safe For Differences.” Each year the President of the United States has given it his formal endorsement. The special theme in 1939 was “Democracy and Freedom,” and in 1940, “The Pres­ ent Crisis in Human Relations.” Participation on the part of religious.and community groups has widened from year to year until, in 1940, it reached approximately 2,000 communities. National Pronouncements A number of significant pronouncements were issued under the auspices of the Conference during the two-year period. On February 4, 1939 the Conference issued a call to Americans of all creeds and beliefs to join with Roman Catholics in prayers for Pope Pius X I on February 12th. In urging non-Catholics to join with Catholics in prayers for the Pope and “for the fulfillment of his hopes for religion, peace and tolerance,” the call stated, “A ll Americans have recognized the Pope as an outstanding champion of the rights of minorities and the sa­ credness of the personal dignity of man and have admired his courage in the defense of those rights as well as his deep sympathy for persecuted people throughout the world.” An appeal to Americans to strengthen religious conviction was issued by prominent laymen of the three faiths in more than 1000 communities under the auspices of the N CCJ on February 25, 1939. The appeal also 144 YEARBOOK OF AMERICAN CHURCHES urged Americans to free themselves of all forms of bigotry and overcome the tendencies toward race, class, religious and individual hatred which threatened the future of America as well as the world. On June 2, 1939 the Conference issued an appeal signed by more than 550 Protestant, Catholic and Jewish lay and clerical leaders who urged Americans to repudiate doctrines which “pit class against class,” promote racial and religious hatred and aim to destroy liberty. On May 14, 1940 the N CCJ appealed to Americans not to let differ­ ences of opinion lead to “acrimony and unjust suspicion” in connection with President Roosevelt’s appointment of Myron C. Taylor as his per­ sonal representative to the Vatican. “It is not within the province of the National Conference of Christians and Jews,” the appeal said, “to pass upon issues upon which there is no clear agreement among or within our constituent groups. W hat concerns us primarily is that in these critical times we of America should be on our guard lest differences of opinion, legitimate in themselves, lead to acrimony and unjust suspicion. Such emo­ tions w ill impair both the nation’s quest for the establishment of justice in the world and the vitally necessary cooperation among all citizens of our country, whatever their religious faiths.” An appeal for unity and goodwill among citizens of all faiths and classes was issued by religious and lay leaders of the three faiths in local com­ munities throughout the country under the auspices of the N CCJ on Sep­ tember 23, 1940. The appeal warned that individuals and groups promot­ ing hatred against religious and racial elements are “America’s potential traitors”, since “recent events have shown that the totalitarian states are using new and insidious weapons of conquest. It is the propagation of lies and suspicion directed against religious and racial groups in the population, and its victory is the division of the nation into mutually hostile groups.”

II. Roman Catholic A ctivity The problem of eliminating racial and religious prejudice and working together with members of other faiths increasingly occupied Roman Cath­ olic individuals and groups during 1939 and 1940. Outstanding development during this period was the formation in New York of the Committee of Catholics to Fight Anti-Semitism, whose name was later changed to the Committee of Catholics for Human Rights. Declaring that anti-Semitism in the United States is a “serious threat to the principles of democracy and Christianity”, the Committee announced that some seventy clergymen and laymen had replied to its call to “oppose the dangerous aberration of anti-Semitism in the fullness of Christian charity.” In June 1939 the Committee began publication of a monthly INTERFAITH DEVELOPMENTS 145

eight-page tabloid newspaper, The Voice which it attempted to distribute widely among Roman Catholics and others. On M ay 22, 1939, in Washington, D. C., the Roman Catholic Hier­ archy of the United States, represented by the Administrative Board of the National Catholic W elfare Conference, condemned all forms of racial bigotry and warned Christian people to be on their guard against racial prejudice. Previously, the Catholic Daughters of America, at their semi-annual meeting in New York on February 27, 1939 adopted a resolution urging Catholics the world over to unite in opposing persecution of the Jews. The National Catholic Alumni Federation, at its biennial convention in New York on September 30, 1939, condemned anti-Semitism as being “contrary to Christian Charity and to the doctrine of the Catholic Church” and traced the “setting up of false divisions among men based upon theories of race and blood superiority” to the “spread of secularism in the world.” On September 20, 1940, the Catholic Information Society of New York announced that it would launch a national drive against anti-Semitism, which would include the widespread distribution of tolerance literature. The need for closer cooperation with members of other faiths was em­ phasized during this period by Roman Catholic leaders. Jacques Maritain, distinguished French Catholic philosopher, in a sig­ nificant lecture delivered at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York on M ay 16, 1940, described the problem of good fellowship among the members of different faiths as being a “cardinal one” for the “new age of civilization” now dawning. Dr. Maritain asked his audience how a peaceful society could be lastingly assured “if good fellowship and mutual understanding cannot first be established in the domain that matters most to the human being—in the spiritual and religious domain.” In Washington, D. C. the Rev. James A . Geary, assistant professor of Celtic languages and literature told the graduating class of Catholic Uni­ versity on June 14, 1939, that the Catholic Church can join with the Jew and with other Christian bodies in common tasks that consider the fields of philosophy, ethics, social and economic justice, and government, but cannot participate in any activity that fails to recognize the essential differ­ ences in the tenets of the different faiths.

III. Protestant A ctivity Protestant church groups showed great interest during the two-year period in condemning intolerance in every form. Among the most significant actions were the following: During January 1939 the Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, 146 YEARBOOK OF AMERICAN CHURCHES

South, described the persecution of the Jews in Germany as the “most as­ tonishing course of any nation on earth” and declared this persecution to be part of a “larger effort to stamp out all religious influence.” A message expressing sympathy with Roman Catholics in the death of Pope Pius X I was cabled to the Vatican by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America during February 1939. The Disciples of Christ, at a meeting of the Board of Trustees of its United Missionary Society in Indianapolis March 15, 1939, condemned race hatred, with particular reference to anti-Semitism. The General Synod of the Reformed Church in America on June 14, 1939, called upon Christians to rebuke anti-Semitism, and urged churches and clergymen to “do something really worthwhile to break down the barriers between Jews and Christians.” The Northern Baptist Convention, meeting in Los Angeles June 24, 1939, adopted a statement condemning anti-Semitism. The statement de­ clared, “it will be a sorry day for the churches of America if intolerance shall be allowed to enter.” The International Christian Endeavor convention in Cleveland, July 12, 1939, denounced intolerance and anti-Semitism in particular as a “serious reflection upon the 'highest Christian ideals.” A call to all churches and to all Christians to “expose the un-Christian character” of anti-Semitic propaganda, was voiced in a report adopted by the first General Conference of the united Methodist Church in Atlantic City, N. J., on May 11, 1940. Through its 152nd General Assembly at Rochester, N. Y. June 1, 1940 the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A. pledged itself to “participate both as individuals and collectively in every world effort to combat anti-Sem­ itism” and called for “more Christ-like living in relation to the Jews.” The cooperation of all religious faiths in working against the “sinister forces operating in this country to undermine our faith in democracy, to obliterate our religious freedom, and to destroy our American way of life,” was asked in a resolution adopted by the biennial meeting of the General Council of the Congregational Christian churches in Berkeley, Calif., August 23, 1940. The resolution particularly mentioned the “malice of anti-Protestantism, anti-Catholicism and anti-Semitism.” The National Conference of Methodist Youth, meeting in biennial con­ vention at Winona Lake, Ind., September 3, 1940, voted support for all movements and organizations working for cooperation among Catholics, Jews and Protestants in campaigns against intolerance. INTERFAITH DEVELOPMENTS 147

IV. J ewish A ctivity There were many instances of interfaith activity and cooperation on the part of Jewish individuals and groups during the years 1939 and 1940. Jews throughout the country mourned the death of Pope Pius X I, and a number of Jewish groups sponsored memorials to the Pope. This activity was initiated by the B’nai B’rith, Jewish fraternal order, whose president, Henry Monsky, called upon members of the order throughout the United States and Canada to join with men and women of other faiths in spon­ soring memorials to Pope Pius. Practically every Anglo-Jewish paper in the country devoted leading editorials or front-page stories to the news of the Pope’s death, and all commented upon the late Pope’s frequently-ex- pressed opposition to persecution, nazism and racism. An outstanding event during 1940 was the donation of $250,000 to Protestant and Catholic refugee agencies by the United Jewish Appeal for Refugees and Overseas Needs made on January 3. This sum was turned over by the Jewish agency to Protestant and Catholic agencies for the benefit of Christian refugees. Rev. George A. Buttrick, President of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, received $125,000 on behalf of Protestant agencies, and an equal amount was presented to Pope Pius X II through Bishop Bernard J. S'heil of Chicago as a memorial to Pope Pius X I. Other incidents in communities throughout the country were indicative of Jewish goodwill toward Christians. For example, soldiers of the Jewish faith stationed at Fort Dix, N. J,, volunteered to waive their Christmas furloughs in 1940 in order that a larger number of Roman Catholic and Protestant soldiers might obtain Christmas leave. Army regulations pro­ vide that at least 25 percent of the Fort Dix Division (44th) must remain in camp at all times. In Columbus, Ohio, at the end of 1940, the First Methodist Church presented Rabbi Samuel M. Gup of Temple Israel with a plaque expres­ sing the Methodist congregation’s gratitude for the use of the Temple following a fire last spring which severely damaged the church. Other instances of this nature, where churches were temporarily housed in syna­ gogue buildings, occurred during the year. In Rochester, N. Y., Simon N. Stein, clothing manufacturer and philan­ thropist, whose benefactions to members of all religious faiths have been notable, was awarded a medal by the Veterans of Foreign W ars as Roches­ ter’s “outstanding citizen of 1940.” In Cincinnati the local lodge of the B’nai B’rith donated $300 to St. M ary’s Catholic hospital, after a cam­ paign for funds among its members on behalf of the hospital. Members of the Jewish community of Utica, N. Y., raised a substantial sum to help 148 YEARBOOK OF AMERICAN CHURCHES

pay off the mortgage of South Congregational Church of that city. In Milwaukee, Harry Bragarnick, a member of the B’nai B’rith, distributed $500 to 13 Roman Catholic, Protestant and Jewish organizations. This money represents fees received for his services as labor arbitrator.

V . Interfaith Cooperation Unemployment and Labor Relations Two significant interfaith conferences were held during 1940 for a con­ sideration of economic and unemployment problems. A national Interfaith Conference on Unemployment was held during the month of June in Washington, D. C. under the joint auspices of the Indus­ trial Division of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, the Social Action Department of the National Catholic W elfare Conference, the Social Justice Commission of the Central Conference of American Rabbis and the Social Justice Committee of the Rabbinical Assembly of America. Representatives of religion, labor, industry, farmers, consumers and government attended. Among the speakers were Rev. Albert W . Beaven, the Rt. Rev. Msgr. John A. Ryan, Rabbi Samuel H. Golden- son, Senator Elbert Thomas, Congressmen James Oliver and Jerry Voor- his, Rev. R. A. McGowan, George Soule, Philip Murray, Rabbi Edward L. Israel, E. R. Bowen and others. The report of the findings of the Conference recommended a perma­ nent commission on unemployment composed of representatives of national organizations in the fields of agriculture, labor, the consumer, finance, manufacturing, commerce, government, education and religion, to be called together by the government. Congressman Voorhis of California later in­ troduced a bill aimed to enact this recommendation into law. In December, 1938, an Interfaith Conference on Democracy and Eco­ nomic Planning was held in Brooklyn, N. Y., at which prominent clergy­ men of the three faiths discussed the economic situation in this country in consultation with economists, employers, labor leaders, farm leaders, con­ sumers’ cooperative leaders and government officials. The Committee on Arrangements for the Conference consisted of the Rev. James Myers, Rev. R. A. McGowan and Rabbi Edward L. Israel. As a result of this Con­ ference a joint statement on Democracy and Economic Planning was issued to the nation on M ay 24th, 1939, signed by more than 100 eminent clergy­ men of the three faiths. This interfaith activity was manifest during 1940 in the field of rela­ tionships with labor. For example, three prominent clergymen particularly interested in labor issued during February a joint “urgent” appeal to the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organiza- INTERFAITH DEVELOPMENTS 149

tions to settle their differences by negotiation. The statement was issued by the Rev. James Myers, the Rt. Rev. Msgr. John A. Ryan, and Rabbi Edward L. Israel. In Minneapolis, Protestant, Catholic and Jewish leaders held a series of monthly “get acquainted” luncheons with members of the Minneapolis Central Labor Union’s board of business agents. Purpose of the luncheons was to acquaint participants with church and labor objectives. Clean Literature Crusades Interfaith cooperation during the two-year period under review was frequently that of combatting indecent literature. Initiated by Roman Catholic organizations, the clean literature cam­ paign was joined by Protestant and Jewish groups throughout the country. During 1939 leaders of all faiths in California supported a bill before the state legislature which proposed to make the dissemination of indecent liter­ ature and pictures in any form a felony. In Richmond, more than 40 clergy­ men and laymen of all faiths took part in a clean literature campaign dur­ ing the early part of 1939. Joint meetings of the three faiths were held in Norfolk, Danville and other Virginian cities. Similar meetings were held in other parts of the country. In Detroit, the Council of Churches, composed of 400 Protestant congregations, voted to support the campaign against salacious literature being carried on by the various Catholic organi­ zations in the city. Other Cooperative Activities Marriage problems occupied the attention of interfaith groups in various communities. For example, agencies representing the three faiths met in Pittsburgh early in January 1939 to discuss changes in the Pennsylvania marriage laws. In New York City during November 1939 three ministers of the Protestant, Catholic and Jewish faiths participated in the first of a series of lectures on marriage and family relations and the home under the auspices of the Hunter College Student Council and the College Division of the National Conference of Christians and Jews. In Buffalo, during January 1940 an interfaith Committee was organized to promote religious instruction in the schools. Some 50 Roman Catholic, Jewish and Protestant leaders from all parts of Michigan met at Ann Arbor during November 1939 to study the prob­ lem of juvenile delinquency, and named a committee to develop a state­ wide program of education and church activity in this field. An interfaith committee to place refugee children of all faiths in foster homes of their own religious affiliations was formed in New York City during March 1939. The plan was developed by Protestant, Catholic and 150 YEARBOOK OF AMERICAN CHURCHES

Jewish leaders, child welfare experts, and the American Friends Service Committee- In Rochester, on February 1, 1939, religious groups of all faiths, govern­ ment and social agencies cooperated in a mid-Winter Exposition designed to show how the various groups may work together in a program for com­ munity betterment. To the projects listed above many might be added. They indicate a growing sense of fellowship on the part of all who believe in God, what­ ever their names or religious affiliations may be, and an increasing readi­ ness to unite for the defense and advancement of the religious principles they hold in common, and in the interest of the ends that are of common concern to them as American citizens. COOPERATION AND UNITY

By H. Paul D ouglass, Editor of Christendom

I. T he W orld Background The year 1940 found organized religion suffering radical difficulties in so many areas of the earth that serious students of the history of religion had felt driven to contemplate the possibility of a reversal of its centuries of progress and the advent of an indefinite period of its serious institutional weakening throughout the world. Yet the report on “The State of the Church,” made to the Biennial session of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, declared that, in the present upheavals of mankind, the Church remains the least shaken of our major institutions. In a time of the progressive loss of political and economic security the Church’s own fellowship has held under all strains, and its unity has increased. Communication has been actively maintained among all branches of the Church, and extensive help extended to war prisoners and refugees. Almost complete loyalty to Christian fellowship has continued among previously associated Christian leaders of the warring nations. Representatives of the ecumenical movement of the non-Roman churches have conferred directly with the Pope concerning war work. In many parts of Europe, Catholics and Protestants have increasingly made common cause, and active inter­ faith cooperation in the United States and Canada has been a strong in­ fluence against prejudice and in behalf of constructive national unity. A recent inventory covering all continents shows the continuance of the movement toward church unity in all its characteristic phases, in some scores of cases. (See Information Service, 297 Fourth Avenue, New York, Volume X IX , Number 28.) Discussions and negotiations looking toward union have gone forward, but relatively few cases have reached actual con­ summation during the year. There has been a strong tendency toward the combination and strength­ ening of agencies in which the churches are already united. Thus, the as­ sembly of the English Free Church Council, meeting in April, completed the merger of two existing organizations, the Federal Council and the Free Church Council, and created a single common organ. The Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America has been strengthened by the acceptance of full membership by the Protestant Episcopal Church previously affiliated only in a limited sense. The confused state of the world has naturally introduced complications into movements for church unity at numerous points. Thus, Japanese

151 152 YEARBOOK OF AMERICAN CHURCHES churches had been looking toward unity on long established lines, but had it forced suddenly upon them as a result of the drastic Religions Bill re­ quiring “all religions to fit into the framework of Japan’s new national structure.” The churches of Baptist, Congregational, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian and United Brethren origins united on October 17. The Anglican Japanese Church is still attempting to maintain independent ex­ istence, and the Japanese Government has apparently accorded separate status to the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches within the Christian group. Heightened racial tension in South Africa has caused churches of African natives to withdraw from national unity organizations in a movement for an All-African Church. Elsewhere, discussions of unity have been accelerated by political cir­ cumstances. The unification of the German Free Churches has been ac­ tively discussed and the cooperative Councils of Churches of Holland and Sweden have been reinforced in membership in view of the need of strength­ ening the churches’ position. The W orld Council of Churches gained the adherence of additional churches in Australia, Canada, England, Scotland, Switzerland and the United States, where seven new churches joined. The most notable of the new adherents was the Church of England. Seventy communions now belong to the W orld Council. Its activities have gone forward continuously, its agents moving somewhat freely among all the belligerent and occupied countries. The Council has served as an agency of mutual aid and has carried on extensive work for war prisoners and refugees. One hundred sixty-eight “orphaned missions” separated from their German, Belgian, Danish, Dutch and French support by the w ar have 'been cared for by denominational missionary agencies cooperating through the International Missionary Council. British churches both in England and South Africa have safeguarded and aided the missions of nations with which they are at war. The Octave of Prayer in January, originating in Roman Catholic cir­ cles devoted to the promotion of church unity, has been adopted as an annual season by the Faith and Order Movement associated with the W orld Council, and was accepted by the American Section at its last meeting. This action tends to unite all branches of Christendom in aspira­ tion and in religious observance in behalf of the ultimate unity of the whole Church.

II. U nited States: D enominational U nity M ovements 1. Closer Baptist-Disciples Relationships. Renewing a suggestion which has repeatedly been before these two churches (See Douglass: Church COOPERATION AND UNITY 153

Unity Movements in the United States, pp. 76-80), the Northern Baptist Convention at its 1940 session heard a plea for greater unity from the fraternal delegates of the Disciples’ churches, and referred without debate to its General Council, a motion to explore the possibility of closer co­ operation. 2. Congregational-Christian Churches. Defining the Congregational fel­ lowship as an autonomous group possessing a peculiar religious treasure but not a separatist group, the Congregational and Christian Churches in General Council in August, 1940, amended their constitution so as to pro­ vide for a class of “ecumenical members” to be appointed by other denom­ inations as follows: the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, and every communion connected with it; also the American Uni­ tarian Association, the Universalist Church and the Community Church Workers of the United States, together with such other communions as may be named by the General Council, may hereafter be represented in the Council by two delegates each. (Advance Reports, General Council of the Congregational and Christian Churches, 1940, pp. 44-5.) 3. Disciples and Churches of Christ. For a third year an unofficial con­ ference was held between groups seeking to unify these two branches of the same movement. Their meeting took place in Lexington, Kentucky. 4. The Witness of the Churches of the Congregational Order. Since the 1937 Edinburgh Conference on Faith and Order, several informal con­ ferences of American Baptists, Congregationalists and Disciples have been held with a view to determining the degree to which they, as Christian bodies of the congregational order, have a united testimony to give and what that testimony is. A committee, designated to carry these conversa­ tions forward, arranged an exchange of papers among writers of the three denominations on topics designated by a 1938 Buffalo meeting of their representatives. These were later published under the title, The Witness of the Churches of the Congregational Order. ( Christendom, 297 Fourth Avenue, New York City, 1940, 35 cents.) Additional papers attempting to summarize and synthesize the common elements of the discussion appeared in the 1940 Autumn number of Chris­ tendom under the titles “Beliefs and Progress Summarized,” by Robert A. Ashworth; “Can These Three Be One?” by Charles Clayton Morrison; and “Can Basic Attitudes Be Synthesized?” by Douglas Horton. (Reprints available from Christendom, 297 Fourth Avenue, New York City, 5 cents each.) Participants in the earlier tri-denominational conferences are being asked to organize discussion groups in their respective communities to consider 154 YEARBOOK OF AMERICAN CHURCHES these results. The preliminary organization of such groups has already been undertaken in New York and Chicago. 5. Evangelical and Reformed Churches. The year 1939 saw the carry­ ing through of the final stages of the uniting of the Evangelical Synod and Reformed Church and the new constitution became fully operative in 1940. The organization of the new joint synods as subordinate units of the merged churches was also completed in 1939. 6. United Brethren in Christ and Evangelical Churches. The com­ missions on church unity of the United Brethren in Christ and the Evan­ gelical Churches announced in November, 1939, the proposed basis of union which has been under negotiation for several years. These must be acted upon by the next quadrennial sessions of the two bodies, and then transmitted for ratification to the local congregations in the United Brethren Church and to the Annual Conferences in the Evangelical Church. The ecclesiastical systems of both denominations are essentially Methodist. Re­ cently their negotiations have been extended to include the Evangelical Congregational group of churches. This is likely to prove the next American union to reach actual consummation. 7. Lutheran Unity. The three major Lutheran groups (United Luth­ eran, American Lutheran Conference and Synodical Conference) have had commissions on Lutheran unity at work under somewhat diverse authoriza­ tion. In 1938 and 1939 reports from these commissions were presented to the respective churches. These focussed in an attempt to agree as a basis for union on a formula relative to the inspiration of the Scriptures. (See News Bulletin, October 7-14, 1938, News Bureau, National Lutheran Council.) United Lutheran. The 1939 report of the Committee on Fellowship of the United Lutheran Convention recommended that negotiations for union continue with the American Lutheran Church, but not immediately with the Missouri Synod. Its 1940 Convention approved the doctrinal basis of unity drafted by negotiators of the three larger Lutheran groups, but took no steps toward actual union. The American Lutheran Conference in which are affiliated the American Lutheran Church, Norwegian Lutheran Church of America, Evangelical Lutheran Augustana Synod of North America, the Lutheran Free Church and the United Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church, continued conversa­ tions in 1939 with the Missouri Synod on the basis of articles accepted in 1938 as “a sufficient doctrinal basis for church union.” The chief points still unsettled concerned the infallibility and verbal inspiration of the Bible. These have been discussed in numerous local conferences of the two groups, COOPERATION AND UNITY 155

with results generally favorable to union. But the statement is still regarded in some quarters as doctrinally inadequate (not erroneous), and the Nor­ wegian Synod and Wisconsin Synod (affiliates of the Missouri Synod) have both passed resolutions adverse to union on these terms. Arguments in rebuttal of this criticism of inadequacy insist that even greater omissions may be found in the standards of the most conservative Synods. The 1940 session of the American Lutheran Conference declared that its experience in federating groups of different national origins “affords a basis for a genuine federal union of all Lutherans.” Discussions in the Convention of the American Lutheran Church tended to limit the interest of this Church to “pulpit and altar fellowship” in distinction from organic union. The Lutheran Synodical Conference, meeting in Chicago in 1940 declared that “further clarification of vital matters” is necessary before carrying forward proposals for union with the American Lutheran Church. 8. The Methodist Church. The most outstanding event of a century in Methodism was the consummation in 1939 of the union of the three major bodies, the Methodist Episcopal, Methodist Episcopal South and Methodist Protestant Churches. The Uniting Conference was held in Kansas City. The name of the new body becomes simply The Methodist Church. Dupli­ c a to r churches of two or more of the uniting denominations are numerous only in two or three states, so that the problem of local adjustment is not serious. The united Methodist Church vests authority in its General Conference in matters of concern to the entire church. The new plan, however, involves considerable decentralization. Its outstanding structural feature is the divi­ sion of the Methodist Church of continental United States into six Juris­ dictional Conferences; five of which are geographical and the sixth composed of Negro churches. No bishop may function outside of the jurisdiction which elects him except on invitation. In brief, though the Methodist episcopacy is related to the whole church by consecration and continues both as a central body for counsel and a symbol of its unity, the episcopacy becomes more definitely than before a territorial office. The months subsequent to unification have been devoted to a multitude of actions implementing the uniting legislation, including the combination of subordinate units in territory where duplication existed, and of the agencies of the three churches. The unification of general agencies involv­ ing a single board of missions has proceeded gradually. The chief actions of the 1940 General Conference were designed to complete the unification of the Church. The location of boards was determined, dividing them among New York, Chicago, Nashville, St. Louis, Columbus, Ohio, and Washing- 156 YEARBOOK OF AMERICAN CHURCHES ton, D. C. A single major denominational periodical was decided upon with such regional additions as its board might determine, and Rev. Roy L. Smith of the First Methodist Church, Los Angeles, well-known writer of syndicated religious material, was elected editor of the national Advocate. Following the General Conference, the six jurisdictional Conferences rep­ resenting the decentralization of ecclesiastical authority were held in their respective regions. Transfer to these bodies of the authority to elect bishops and members of the major bodies of the Church removed from the General Conference some of its most characteristic business as well as its most spirited contests. A few vacancies in the episcopal ranks were filled by the jurisdictions. It is reliably stated that at no time either in official action or in the life of the Church had differences of opinion followed the lines of the previous separate churches. Conversations have been initiated with the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church looking toward the inclusion of that body in the Methodist Church. 9. Negro Methodists. The union of the three larger denominations of Negro Methodists was discussed in the 1939 Conference of the African Methodist Church and subsequently approved by its Council of Bishops. Informal conversations with the other bodies concerned have gone on inter­ mittently. 10. Presbyterian U. S. A, and Presbyterian U. S . Churches. Negotiations for union between these two bodies have been continued under new authori­ zation from their respective General Assemblies. The latest proposal is em­ bodied in a statement of “basic principles” presented by a joint committee which includes eight points. A provision for regional synods is designed to leave the Southern branch of the church with a degree of autonomy and would provide a measure of decentralization in a church which the proposed union would make genu­ inely nationwide. (1939 Minutes of the General Assembly, Presbyterian, U. S. A , p. 62). The 1940 General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, U. S., voted to continue negotiations for union with “all branches of the Presbyterian Church,” but weakened the terms of the authorization of its negotiations with the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A. 11. United Presbyterian. The General Assembly meeting in Buffalo in M ay 1940 authorized its Committee on Church Relationships to confer with any church desiring union. This is understood to reopen the possibility of negotiations with the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., which the United Presbyterian Church voted down in 1936. 12. Presbyterian, U. S. A.-Protestant Episcopal Negotiations. Probably COOPERATION AND UNITY 157 the most significant attack yet made by American churches upon the central issues which divide them is represented by current negotiations for organic union between the Presbyterian, U. S. A., and Protestant Episcopal Churches. These renew negotiations first entered upon soon after the Epis­ copal proposal of the famous Quadrilateral in 1886, and are a culmination of more recent conversations between authorized representatives of the two communions in the sphere of Christian morality and of approaches to organic unity. In October, 1937, the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church invited the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., to join with it in the acceptance of a declaration as follows : The two Churches, one in the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Word of God, recognizing the Holy Scriptures as the supreme rule of faith, accepting the two sacraments ordained by Christ, and believing that the visible unity of Christ’s Church is the will of God, hereby formally declare their purpose to achieve organic unity between their respective Churches. (Syllabus on Approaches to Unityt p. 15.) The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the following M ay adopted the same declaration and the two Churches authorized their respective representatives to proceed with negotiations which have been under way since October, 1938. As a result, the commissions of the two Churches jointly issued statements on “Things Believed in Common” and “Things That Might Be Undertaken in Common.” Supplemental action strengthened the latter statement and recommends numerous methods of contact between Episcopal and Presbyterian churches with a view to encour­ aging a demand for their unity among the laity, so that the impulse might “come from below rather than from above.” Numerous joint services of worship and discussions have been held by local groups and congregations in all parts of the country. The central item of the joint report of the two commissions, the Proposed Concordat, turned out to furnish the chief point for differences of opinion as the discussion has proceeded. The immediate purpose of the Concordat is “to provide means whereby each Church may, wherever it seems locally de­ sirable, assume pastoral charge of the members of the other Church and offer them the privileges of the Holy Communion, thus establishing one congre­ gation.” (Syllabus, p. 9.) The assumption back of the Proposed Concordat is declared to be the be­ lief of both Churches that “all practice in regard to the ministry should look forward to one which may have universal acceptance ; both recognize that a truly reunited Church would be something greater than either and inclusive of both; and, each Church recognizes the ministry of the other as a real min­ istry of the W ord and sacraments within its own sphere.” The theory on which the Concordat proceeds from this point to its par- 158 YEARBOOK OF AMERICAN CHURCHES ticular proposal is that “both Churches believe in episcopal ordination, the one by a bishop with attendant presbyters, the other by a presbytery acting in its episcopal capacity,” On the ground of this assumption the Concordat proposes an extension of ministerial commissions— “not to be regarded as a reordination, but as recognition of an ordination valid in the body conferring it.” The act of this extension of ordination is to be as follows: In the case of a minister of the Presbyterian Church, the bishop of the diocese concerned, when satisfied as to the qualifications of the candidate, with attendant presbyters, shall lay his hands on his head and say: “Take thou authority to exe­ cute (exercise) among us the office of a presbyter in the Church of God, committed to thee by the imposition of our hands. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.” In the case of a minister of the Protestant Episcopal Church the presbytery shall proceed in the same manner and use the same sentence. All baptized members of either church who have been confirmed or who have made profession of faith shall be eligible to receive the Holy Communion wherever this arrangement has been entered into. (Syllabus, p. 10.) The primary ecclesiastical status and responsibility of ministers receiving extended commissions is not changed, though they enter upon a secondary responsibility to the administrative authorities of the other commissioning church. The arrangements pertain only to the diocese or presbytery first concerned and are definitely declared to be interim arrangements to continue until organic unity is achieved. A subsequent session of the two commissions considered an alternative proposal for “dual membership” by which ministers and laymen of the two Churches might each fulfill the full conditions for ordination or member­ ship in both Churches so that they would have complete standing as ministers or members of both under present canonical or constitutional requirements. The Presbyterian commission formally objected to the substitution of this proposal on the ground that it virtually called in question the full status of the Presbyterian Church and its ministers within the Holy Catholic Church. (Syllabus, p. 34f.) The discussion of these proposals in the two Churches has been active, voluminous and at some points, bitter. A typical argument in opposition to the Concordat attacks its “major premise” ; namely, “the equal validity of Presbyterian and Episcopal orders.” To equate Presbyterian ordination and Episcopal ordination is to surrender the “historic episcopate as essential to the structure and sacramental life of the Holy Catholic Church and thus to break with Catholic faith and order.” (George Craig Stewart: “The Concordat and the Ministry,” The Living Church, June 5, 1940, p. 7f.) This statement of the late Bishop Stewart appears to bring out the essential point of disagreement. It was anticipated that the results of the negotiations would come before COOPERATION AND UNITY 159

the Episcopal General Convention in October, 1940; but an influential body of opinion, voiced by Bishop W . T . Manning among others, urged that the Concordat be withdrawn, as constituting a divisive proposal. A survey of Episcopal opinion on the Proposed Concordat recently initiated by The Living Church classifies 530 replies and shows that substantially one- third favor the adoption of the Proposed Concordat; approximately one-half disapprove it but would continue negotiations with the Presbyterian Church along other lines; while about a quarter would terminate negotiations alto­ gether. Considerable differences between clergy and laity appear in this showing. Relatively more laymen take the extreme positions, either to adopt the Concordat or to terminate negotiations. The report of the Committee on Approaches to Unity to the 1940 General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church, meeting in Kansas City, consequently recommended no action on the proposed Concordat. The chief reason assigned was a desire to secure the advice of the Lambeth Conference of the Anglican bishops, whose session has been indefinitely postponed on account of the war. The Committee’s report and the discussion of it indicated strong differences of judgment within itself and within the church. The Committee on Ap­ proaches to Unity was continued. 13. Protestant Episcopal and Reformed Episcopal Churches. The nego­ tiations between these bodies were kept alive by Reformed Episcopal action in 1940 authorizing their continuance, and by inclusion in the report of the Protestant Episcopal Commission on Unity.

III. Cooperative A ctivity in the U nited States On the level of cooperation through agencies of interchurch activity very significant progress has been made in the improvement both of the machinery and the practice, and there has been appreciable addition to the volume of cooperation. 1. Local Councils of Churches. New city councils have been organized in Davenport, Iowa; Durham, North Carolina; Erie, Pennsylvania; Meriden, Connecticut; Burlington, New Jersey; and Nassau County, Long Island, with several others in process of organization. There are now forty-three councils of churches in the larger cities. 2. State Councils. The chief advance in state councils has come through the combination of existing interchurch agencies into inclusive councils or by the assumption of broader functions by existing agencies. The Ohio State Council of Churches and the Ohio Council of Religious Education have merged. The Missouri Church and Sunday School Council has reorganized as the Missouri Council of Churches and preliminary steps toward perma­ nent organization of state councils have been taken in Oklahoma, Indiana and Wyoming. Other mergers of agencies are being studied in Kansas, 160 YEARBOOK OF AMERICAN CHURCHES

Colorado, New Jersey, and North Dakota. Twenty-one states have now established the inclusive type of organization. 3. Joint Field Department. The Intercouncil Field Department has been maintained by seven national interchurch agencies whose field personnel has been constituted as a joint staff. A ll major field programs undertaken by any of the agencies are cleared through the Joint Department and there is general direction of field work in the interests of a unified approach to local communities. 4. Study of Still Closer Relationships. A meeting of representatives of the International Council of Religious Education, the Foreign Missions Conference, the Home Missions Council, the Council of Women for Home Missions, the National Council of Church Women and the Federal Council of Churches was held on M ay 29, 1940, and determined to explore the prob­ lem of how much farther the agencies would be willing to go in the direction of organizational integration. Subcommittees were appointed to report on the possibilities of three types of closer relationship defined as follows: (a) “Further Cooperative Activity Within the Present Organizational Set-Up.” (b) “Some Form of Federated Organization.” (c) “Merging of the Organizations into a Single Corporate Body.” On November 18, 1940, a meeting of the joint committee of the agencies received the subcommittees’ reports and voted to request their respective agencies to appoint further committees for joint study and the carrying on of educational processes with view to developing a common mind and the ultimate drafting of a plan of closer relationship, to be submitted for action to the constituent denominations. 5. Association of Council Secretaries. An important step toward closer relations was the merger in July, 1940, of the Association of Executive Sec­ retaries and the Employed Council Officers Association. These were the voluntary professional organizations of the staffs of Councils of Churches and of Religious Education, respectively. The two organizations have met jointly for a number of years and their combination into one organization was the result of growing solidarity and the closer relationships of the em­ ploying agencies. 6. Joint Meetings at Atlantic City. Joint meetings of seven national inter- church agencies were held in Atlantic City in December, 1940, in connection with the Biennial meeting of the Federal Council of Churches. The con­ vergence of these numerous interests at one time and place resulted in a large COOPERATION AND UNITY 161 and enthusiastic attendance. Numerous joint sessions were held and the im­ portant conclusions were jointly arrived at. This bringing together of the total cooperative forces both symbolized and added strength to their growing spirit and practice of unity.

IV. A m e r i c a n P articipation i n W o r l d M o v e m e n t s 1. The A meric an Sections of Life and W ork and Faith and Order. Ameri­ can participation in the W orld Council of Churches has been carried for­ ward through joint meetings of these two branches of the ecumenical move­ ment now provisionally united in the W orld Council. A Joint Executive Committee has been maintained. Additional responsibilities have fallen to the American Section on account of broken communications incident to war conditions, especially in the realms of publication and finance. 2. Canada. Cooperative relations between Canadian churches have re­ cently been distinctly advanced through their participation in the ecumenical movement. The choice of Canadian representatives to the Utrecht meeting which set up the W orld Council of Churches was happily and generously effected. Following the ecumenical conferences of 1937, representatives of several Canadian churches formed a “Canadian Continuation Committee on Life and W ork and Faith and Order.” This group was later constituted as “The Canadian Committee of the W orld Council of Churches in Process of Formation.” The chairman is the Bishop of Niagara and the membership includes the Baptist churches; the Churches of Christ (Disciples) ; the Anglican Church; the Evangelical Church; the Evangelical Lutheran Church; the Presbyterian Church; the United Church; the Religious Society of Friends; and the Salvation Army, in addition to consultative bodies. The Canadian Committee of the W orld Council of Churches has co­ operated with the similar American group in a North American Section of the W orld Council, and in the sponsorship of the magazine Christendom. PROTESTANT DENOMINATIONAL EVENTS

B y B e n s o n Y . L a n d is Associate Secretary, Department of Research and Education, The Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America

T h e I nternational S i t u a t i o n During 1939 and 1940, the world crisis probably overshadowed the work of all the churches. Numerous declarations were made at ecclesiastical assemblies. These were generally described as “middle positions.” The churches urged an international ministry of reconciliation; they asked for generous giving for the relief of sufferers from war conditions; they called for study of the bases of a durable peace; they asked for fellowship of churches, across the lines of battle, thus upholding the Ecumenical or world­ wide, or universal concept of the church. Over one hundred orphaned mis­ sions were aided by special funds raised in American churches. Denomina­ tional efforts for relief abroad were coordinated during the year by the Joint Committee on Foreign Relief Appeals, established by the Foreign Missions Conference and the Federal Council. A t the Council’s biennial meeting a group of distinguished churchmen reported on the “state of the church” to the Council, not fo r it, that the church remained the “least shaken” of all our major institutions by war, social upheaval and revolution throughout the world.

T h e T a y l o r A p p o i n t m e n t According to Religious News Service, at least thirty Protestant denomina­ tions, or synods or conferences within denominations, either formally pro­ tested the appointment by President Roosevelt late in 1939 of Myron C. Taylor, prominent Episcopal layman, as his personal representative at the Vatican, or asked for M r. Taylor’s recall. The appointment was also ap­ proved, or at least not opposed, by representative Protestant officials, but more official opposition than support seemed apparent. The Executive Com­ mittee of the Federal Council, representing 22 religious bodies, approved the appointment, only if it was temporary and special, for the purpose of assisting peace moves. President Roosevelt stated the appointment was tem­ porary. Nothing was heard of the matter after M r. Taylor’s return to the United States late in 1940.

T h e C onscientious O b je c t o r Numerous churches affirmed the right of the conscientious objector to war service, and certain of them arranged for the registration of their own 162 PROTESTANT DENOMINATIONS 163 members taking this position. During the registration of men of draft age in 1940, only a negligible number of absolute pacifists failed to present them­ selves and give the necessary information. The historic peace churches, e.g., Friends, Brethren, Mennonites, all advised their members to register. Unof­ ficial estimates indicated that about one per cent of the trainees were con­ scientious objectors. Late in 1940, many church agencies were actively pre­ paring to assist those refusing combatant or non-combatant army service. The churches interested were about to carry out plans to support many of these young men, who would not receive government compensation, even though they were assigned to work of national importance under civilian direction, mainly soil conservation work.

T he 1936 Census of R eligious Bodies The Federal Census of Religious Bodies for 1936, released in August, 1940, revealed that many thousands of ministers and clerks of local churches had failed to respond to three or four requests for membership and financial data of the same type as the Bureau of the Census had successfully obtained in 1906, 1916 and 1926. (The 1926 reports were widely regarded as the most complete reporting ever achieved.) The August, 1940, release of the Bureau of the Census showed 256 religious bodies with 199,302 local churches having 55,807,366 members, as compared with 213 bodies and 232,154 local churches with 54,576,346 members in 1926. In June, 1936, the Christian Heraldf New York, published a compilation of the reports of official statisticians of 208 religious bodies with 245,005 local churches hav­ ing 62,678,177 members. It would appear that possibly 45,000 local churches did not report, and of these more than 20,000 were in three denominations: Southern Baptist Convention, Methodist Episcopal Church and Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The Census was taken under authority of Acts of Congress, signed by President Theodore Roosevelt and President Herbert Hoover. However, there was much misunderstanding of the effort. Rumors were circulated by churchmen and among churchmen that the census was “just a New Deal proposition,” that it was an attempt of the state to “invade” the church, that it was an unwarranted interference of the state in the life of the Church, etc. The non-cooperation of numerous Protestant churches made direct comparisons of the 1926 and 1936 censuses impossible. Summaries of events and trends within religious bodies, and related to them follow :

T he Protestant Episcopal C hurch In 1939 the Episcopal Church celebrated the 150th anniversary of the adoption of the American Prayer Book. Important processes of self-appraisal 164 YEARBOOK OF AMERICAN CHURCHES were initiated under a National Committee on Strategy and Policy, and also independently in certain dioceses. The House of Bishops met, approved the right of conscientious objectors to register as non-combatants, and issued a pastoral letter which looked toward a federation of nations as a means of securing peace. The Triennial General Convention met in Kansas City in October, 1940. The most extensively debated issue before the Convention was the suggested amendment to the canon on marriage and divorce presented by a special com­ mission which had studied the question for fifteen years. The proposed canon attempted unsuccessfully to reconcile two points of view in regard to Christian marriage. On the one hand, it asserted that Christian marriage was indissoluble, and that no clergyman might admit to the contrary by marrying any divorced person. Such remarriage was declared to be a viola­ tion of a law of God as interpreted by Jesus. Any divorced person remarried must be excommunicated, according to the proposed amendment. On the other hand, in certain exceptional cases remarriage of a divorced person might be blessed and the person restored to the communion of the church. The proposed amendment, even though it passed the House of Bishops, was rejected by the House of Deputies. The canon now in effect prohibits the marriage of a divorced person, with the exception that the rule does not apply to the innocent party in a divorce for adultery, provided that before the application for such remarriage a period of not less than one year shall have elapsed after the granting of a divorce, and that satisfactory evidence touching the facts in the case be laid before the ecclesiastical authority. Any minister may decline to solemnize any such remarriage. A new commission for further study of the matter of divorce was authorized. The much discussed suggested concordat with the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A. was not brought before the Convention for action. This con­ cordat would have permitted ministers of either church under an identical form of authorization to have performed their offices and have charge of congregations in the other. It is believed that the concordat was not pre­ sented both because of widespread opposition, mainly from Anglo-Catholics, and because of a desire on the part of Episcopal leaders to obtain the advice of the Lambeth Conference of Anglican Bishops from all parts of the world, which conference has been indefinitely postponed on account of the war. The National Cathedral at Washington, D. C., was designated as the seat of the presiding bishop, but this was not interpreted as determining his resi­ dence, or meaning any change in the offices of the National Council of the Church from 281 Fourth Avenue, New York, N. Y. After debating the question for twenty years, the Convention voted to join the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. Previously the National Council of PROTESTANT DENOMINATIONS 165

the Church had cooperated in a limited way with certain departments of the Federal Council.

U nited L utheran C hurch The Biennial Convention of the United Lutheran Church was held in Omaha in October, 1940. The Convention reiterated the doctrine of “just w ar” and declared the duty of Christians to bear arms. It also affirmed the ultimate authority of individual conscience, and provided a set of measures for the protection of the rights of its members who are conscientious objec­ tors to military service. The recently established Board of Social Missions reaffirmed previous declarations of the church that it is in agreement with Scripture that the churches should occupy themselves with civic and social matters and set forth in detail certain emergency responsibilities of the church in time of social stress and international crisis. The Convention authorized participation of the United Lutheran Church in an all-Lutheran conference on forms of worship. The Convention denounced the appointment by Presi­ dent Roosevelt of Myron C. Taylor as his personal representative at the Vatican, as a violation of the principle of the separation of church and state. It deplored the persecution of German speaking congregations in Canada, as a result of hysteria and war prejudice, and declared that this persecution had gone on in spite of the fact that most of the members of these churches were not German in nationality.

M ethodist C hurch The first session of the quadrennial General Conference of the newly formed Methodist Church was held at Atlantic City in May, 1940. The Methodist Church is a merger of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and the Methodist Protestant Church. The uniting conference of the three bodies was held a year earlier and since the events of the past two years deal mainly with unification, they are de­ tailed in the chapter on “Cooperation and Unity,” by Dr. Douglass. A single official periodical was decided upon and Rev. Roy L. Smith of the First Methodist Church of Los Angeles, California, well-known writer of syndi­ cated religious material, was elected editor of the national Advocate, which began publication in 1941, with headquarters in Chicago, 111. Ordained women were denied the right of membership in annual confer­ ences, which substantially deprives them of standing in the ministry. Educa­ tional requirements for entering the ministry were raised. The General Conference denounced war as an evil but maintained the right of individual conscience as to participation in it. An effort to withdraw support from the military chaplaincy was defeated. It was voted to ask President Roosevelt 166 YEARBOOK OF AMERICAN CHURCHES

to recall Myron C. Taylor as his personal representative at the Vatican. The General Conference decided that the term consecration rather than ordina­ tion should be used for the recognition of new bishops by the entire church in order to make it clear that bishops do not constitute a different order of ministry from other preachers.

Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A. The 1939 General Assembly met in Cleveland, and elected Sam Higgin- bottom, a layman, well-known agricultural missionary, of Allahabad College, Allahabad, India, as moderator. A proposal to rewrite the “shorter cate­ chism” was presented and referred for later report. The Assembly opposed the extension of the federal social security system either to ministers or lay- workers in the churches. The 1940 General Assembly convened in Rochester, N. Y., in June. W il­ liam L. Young, president of Park College, Mo., was elected the moderator. A resolution declared the sinfulness of war, but the Assembly refused to amend its constitutional reference to a “just war,” apparently on the theory that the question could not be considered calmly in the present international situation. The Board of Christian Education was asked to make a basic study of the church and war. The Assembly made provision for the registra­ tion of members who are conscientious objectors, and also asserted the right of conscientious objection to military service. In a thorough resolution the Assembly discussed President Roosevelt’s appointment of Myron C. Taylor as his personal representative at the Vatican, and called for its termination on the ground that it was unconstitutional. A report was made that the Board of Christian Education had been suc­ cessful in raising a special fund of $8,000,000 out of a goal of $10,000,000 set, for the strengthening of denomination®! schools and colleges. The Assembly passed a strong resolution condemning Anti-Semitism.

Presbyterian Church in the U. S. The 1939 General Assembly met at Montreat, N. C., in May and elected Dr. Edward Mack of Union Theological Seminary, Richmond, Va., as moderator. The Assembly adopted rules making the method of calling and employing ministers more definite than it had been. It was reported that a $3,000,000 annuity fund for the support of retired ministers was nearly completed. The Assembly laid great stress on evangelism. The 1940 General Assembly of this Church was in session in Chattanooga, Tenn., in May, and elected Rev. Frank C. Brown, Dallas, Texas, as mod­ erator. The Assembly refused to take formal action in regard to the appoint­ ment of Myron C. Taylor as the personal representative of President Roose- PROTESTANT DENOMINATIONS 167

velt at the Vatican, even though there was strong opinion that a formal pronouncement should be made.

Disciples of C hrist The last session of the International Convention was held at Richmond, Va., in October, 1939. The next session will meet in St. Louis, in May, 1941. The Disciples of Christ conduct their business in a mass convention in which any member of a local church may participate and vote. A novel feature in 1939 was the series of general forums, focused on special interests of modern Christianity. A Joint Youth Commission, with the Northern Baptist Convention, was proposed. Negotiations for union with the Negro Disciples were begun. The extension of religious instruction in public schools was favored. Worship services were marked by the use of liturgical ma­ terial. As moderator, the Convention elected Rev. H. B. McCormick, min­ ister of the Lakewood Church, Lakewood, Ohio. This denomination is engaged in a five-year program of advance to strengthen the church. The special effort began in 1937. There is also a Commission “to restudy the Disciples,” which made a progress report at Richmond in 1939 and is continuing its work. In 1940 the Christian Evan­ gelist offered a view on the Myron C. Taylor appointment to the Vatican which was in strong contrast to the sentiments of many Protestant religious journals—it offered a qualified defense of the Taylor appointment and requested that it be not criticised. Officials of the church set ui> machinery for the registration of conscientious objectors, authorized by the 1939 Convention. Congregational C hristian C hurches In 1939 began a period of testing of a new theory of leadership, initiated by Rev. Douglas Horton, who began his active service in January. Dr. Horton specified that in his position he should be designated as “minister” as well as secretary. The step marked a general attempt to combine intellectual and spiritual leadership with administrative duties. This policy was imple­ mented by numerous visits to local churches by the unsalaried Moderator, Rev. Oscar Maurer, of New Haven. The Biennial General Council of this denomination met in Berkeley, California, in August, 1940, and elected former Governor William E. Sweet, of Colorado, as moderator. The meeting marked the end of the first decade of union between the Congregational and Christian Churches. The names of both have been carried as the title of the church. The 1940 Council marked the completion and permanence of this union by changing its name so that it will read simply, “The General Council of Congregational Chris­ tian Churches.” Among the important actions the Council passed a resolu- 168 YEARBOOK OF AMERICAN CHURCHES tion asking for early termination of the Taylor appointment to the Vatican; it asked for civilian control of conscientious objectors to the Selective Service A c t; it called for the cooperation of all religious faiths against forces under­ mining democracy, religious freedom and the American way of life; it par­ ticularly denounced religious bigotry. The Council tabled a resolution which would have called upon the country for “deepened searching debate and mature deliberation” before the adoption of military conscription in the nation. Northern Baptist Convention The 1939 Convention met in Los Angeles, in June, and elected Rev. Elmer A. Fridell, Berkeley Divinity School, Berkeley, California, as presi­ dent. Rev. Earl F. Adams of Buffalo was made general director of promo­ tion for the denomination. The Convention voted to join the W orld Council of Churches, with the proviso that it would not be bound by any actions of the Council except as they would be ratified by its own action. The Con­ vention debated a proposal to give endorsement to the Wagner Labor Rela­ tions Act, but declined to give a formal endorsement. Meeting in Atlantic City in May, 1940, the most significant actions of the Convention related to issues of war and peace. It condemned war as a method of settling international disputes and the invasion of helpless peoples by totalitarian powers, and extended sympathy to the democracies of the world. It warned the public against hysteria and propaganda, and urged a careful scrutiny of news reports, domestic and foreign. The Convention provided for registry of members of the denomination who are conscientious objectors to participation in war, and protection of their rights. It asked for a reconsideration by the President of his appointment of Myron C. Taylor as his personal representative to the Vatican. Ernest J. Millington, a layman of Cadillac, Michigan, was elected president of the Convention. An independent Baptist pacifist organization was formed by persons attend­ ing the Convention.

Southern Baptist Convention The 1939 Convention met in Oklahoma City in May, and elected Rev. L. R. Scarborough, president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Sem­ inary, Fort Worth, Texas, as president. Informed observers stated that the Convention seemed almost unanimously opposed to the current trend of thought in favor of church union. Sentiment in favor of the continued sepa­ ration of church and state took second place. From the floor, strong opposi­ tion was voiced to joining the W orld Council of Churches, which proposal was referred to a committee for future study and report. The 1940 Southern Baptist Convention met at Baltimore, Md., in June, PROTESTANT DENOMINATIONS 169 and elected W illiam W . Hamilton of New Orleans to succeed L. R. Scar­ borough of Fort W orth, Texas. The Convention protested President Roose­ velt’s appointment of Myron C. Taylor of New York as his personal repre­ sentative at the Vatican. It voted to continue the special emphasis on evan­ gelism carried out the previous two years. The social service commission reported renewed efforts for temperance, and recorded great satisfaction over the decline in the number of reported lynchings of Negroes. The Con­ vention declared that discriminations against Negroes in the administration of justice, in pursuits of industry, and in education, must be removed. It recognized the right of the individual to conscientious objection to military service. The Convention declined the invitation previously extended to mem­ bership in the W orld Council of Churches. The Convention opposed the inclusion of ministers and lay employees in the Social Security system.

Friends The various branches of the Friends reiterated the traditional Quaker witness in regard to absolute opposition to war, and furthered intensive serv­ ices on behalf of refugees, sharecroppers and other neglected groups in the United States, and also relief efforts in various European countries. The American Friends Service Committee, Philadelphia, was the agency through which these various relief efforts were carried out. In 1940 the Committee announced the formation of volunteer work camps for young persons called for training under the Selective Service Act and who were conscientious objectors. F ederated and Independent C hurches The Bureau of the Census reported through the Census of Religious Bodies, 1936, new information in regard to federated and independent churches. Federated churches are usually defined as those that conduct local affairs in common but maintain national denominational affiliation. The Census reported 508 such churches for the year 1936, of which 82 are in urban territory (places having over 2,500 persons) and 426 in rural areas. This was a considerable gain over the number reported in 1926 when the figure was 361. These churches are found mainly in New England, the Middle Atlantic and East North Central and W est North Central states. For the year 1936 there were also reported 384 local independent congrega­ tions, an increase over the figure of 259 for the year 1926. One hundred fifteen of these were in urban territory and 269 in rural. ROMAN CATHOLIC ACTIVITIES By Charles A. M cM ahon, Editor, C atholic A ction Monthly Publication of the National Catholic Welfare Conference Acknowledging a letter sent by the Bishops of the United States to thank him for his Encyclical Letter, Sertum Laetitiae, sent toward the end of 1939 to mark the 150th anniversary of the establishment of the American Hierarchy, Pope Pius X II expressed his gratitude and happiness because of the pastoral care with which the Archbishops and Bishops defend and encourage religion in this country. The 1940 edition of The Official Catholic Directory placed the Catholic population of the United States, Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands at 21,403,136. T he T aylor A ppointment The dawn of the year 1940 brought Pope Pius X II’s memorable response to President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s message to His Holiness at Christmas, 1939, in which he announced the appointment of Myron C. Taylor as his special representative at the Vatican. Pope Pius said that when the day of peace dawns only those who unite with high political power “a clear under­ standing of the voice of humanity along with a sincere reverence for the divine precepts of life” will be able to “discern the path that should be followed.” M r. Taylor took up his duties at the Vatican on February 27. He was subsequently taken seriously ill and underwent an operation while abroad. He returned home at the end of August The executive committee of the Federal Council of Churches indorsed M r. Taylor’s appointment, since it assumed that “the appointment is strictly temporary, unofficial and centrally concerned with the efforts for world peace.” Some Protestant groups voiced objection. The Jewish Advocate regretted this latter attitude and called it unwarranted. The National Con­ ference of Christians and Jews appealed to all religious groups against per­ mitting “acrimony and unjust suspicion” to arise as the result of differences of opinion over M r. Taylor’s appointment. On March 3 the first anniversary of Pius X II’s coronation was solemnly observed in the United States, the Most Rev. Amleto Giovanni Cicognani, Apostolic Delegate to the United States, leading in these ceremonies. In May, responding to the plea of the Holy Father; American Catholics set aside a period of earnest supplication for the restoration of peace. Again, the response in the United States was impressive when His Holiness invited Catholics throughout the world to join with him in making November 24 a day of propitiation for peace and the relief of suffering occasioned by the war. 170 CATHOLIC ACTIVITIES 171

W ork of the Catholic Association for International Peace throughout the year centered around the five conditions of peace enunciated by Pope Pius X II at Christmas, 1939, and a three-point program formulated by its Executive Committee at the outbreak of the European war, namely: Help keep the United States out of w ar; help to end war everywhere; help to bring the United States into world organization at the end of war so as to end injustice and the causes of war.

M eeting of Hierarchy W ith 100 members of the Hierarchy in attendance, and with His Emi­ nence Dennis Cardinal Dougherty, Archbishop of Philadelphia, presiding, the Annual General Meeting of the Archbishops and Bishops of the United States took steps to coordinate Catholic interests and activities stemming from the nation’s program for preparedness, and to unify all Catholic relief and refugee work under a single Episcopal Committee. To accomplish the first of these objectives, a National Catholic Community Service composed of the N. C. W . C. Administrative Board, plus the Military Vicar of the Army and Navy Ordinariate or his representative, was organized. The Administrative Board itself became the unifying committee on relief. It was revealed that a sum in excess of $1,200,000 had been provided by the Bishops for the relief of suffering peoples abroad. It was also disclosed that the Episcopal Committee for Catholic Refugees had handled 4,319 refugee cases since its establishment in 1937. The United Jewish Appeal for Refugees and Overseas Needs made a gift of $125,000 to Pope Pius X II in memory of Pope Pius X I for relief of refugees. The Bishops took cognizance of this nation’s extraordinary peace-time efforts to defend American institutions and pledged themselves and their flocks to “give themselves unstintingly” to their country’s “defense and its lasting endurance and welfare.”

Selective Service The Rt. Rev. Msgr. Michael J. Ready, at the direction of the N. C. W . C. Administrative Board, appeared before committees of the Senate and the House to ask specific exemption of priests, seminarians and Religious under the Burke-Wadsworth Bill, which, as originally drawn, empowered the President to grant deferred status to priests and ministers of religion under the draft provisions, but made no mention of seminarians or brothers. Mon­ signor Ready’s recommendations were embodied in the Selective Service and Training Act of 1940. In his statement, Monsignor Ready also urged that “the possibility of a one-year voluntary enlistment should be exhausted before resorting to a compulsory one.” 172 YEARBOOK OF AMERICAN CHURCHES

C haplains The Rt. Rev. Msgr. William R. Arnold, chief of chaplains, United States Army, announced that 75 Catholic chaplains, the greatest number since the W orld W ar, were on active duty with the Army toward the end of 1940, and that about 275 additional Catholic chaplains would be needed by April 1, 1941. Miss Agnes C. Roselle, a Catholic of Washington, D. C., was called to active duty with the Arm y Nurse Corps, the first of 4,019 nurses the Army planned to call to duty by July, 1941. Attendance at Mass on Army posts and stations throughout the United States and in overseas possessions during the year ending June 30, 1940, totaled more than the attendance at any other one form of devotion conducted by the 137 Army chaplains.

Films The Episcopal Committee on Motion Pictures issued a strong protest against the “increasing objectionable tendencies which lately have become manifest in films,” and urged all Catholics, particularly parents, to renew their vigilance “against the pernicious influence of films which disregard the moral law and subvert the foundations of Christian society.”

Y outh W ith the Most Rev. John A. Duffy, Bishop of Buffalo, as its Episcopal Chairman, a new Department of Youth was established in the National Catholic W elfare Conference to “meet the needs of youth in these critical times and supply the spiritual defense essential to Christian democratic life.” The Rev. Vincent Mooney, C. S. C., Director of the new Department, issued a statement warning Catholic youth organizations and Catholic youth generally not to commit themselves to any youth movement, federation or agency without first having carefully studied its objectives and possible ramifications. He stated the reasons why Catholics cannot and have not participated in the activities of the American Youth Congress. Christian democratic ideals were stressed at a three-day conference of 4,000 Catholic youths held in Chicago in October.

T he Social Order Perhaps the most important statement issued by the Administrative Board of the N. C. W , C. during the year was that entitled “The Church and Social Order,” urging “the necessity of bringing back God into education, into economic life, into all life, private and public, individual and social.” This statement received the warm commendation of Pope Pius X II, as well as of Cardinal Pizzardo, high Government officials, outstanding personali­ ties in many walks of life, and of editorials in secular, labor and non-Catholic CATHOLIC ACTIVITIES 173 religious publications. The statement was printed in the Congressional Record. So far more than 75,000 copies have been distributed. An edition costing one penny has been published by the N. C. W . C. to place the state­ ment within the reach of all. L abor The N. C. W . C. Department of Social Action assisted in arrangements for the observance in dioceses through the country of the golden jubilee of Pope Leo XIITs Encyclical on the Condition of Labor and the tenth anni­ versary of Pope Pius XFs Encyclical on Reconstructing the Social Order, which occurs in May, 1941. The Rev. Dr. Edgar Schmiedeler, O. S. B., Director of the Rural Life Bureau, N. C. W . C., Department of Social Action, issued a statement warning that a well-planned attack is being launched against cooperatives in the United States, with a view to destroy­ ing them or reducing their constructive service to a minimum. The Catholic Conference on Industrial Problems held regional meetings in New Orleans, Buffalo and Rochester, and a meeting on the Negro in Industry, held at Detroit in conjunction with the National Catholic Inter­ racial Federation. The Rev. Dr. John P. Boland, Chairman of the New York State Labor Relations Board, effected a settlement of the 13-month strike at the Hotel Governor Clinton in New York City. Labor schools were organized by Bishops in many dioceses, and effective efforts were made to spread a knowledge of Catholic social teaching.

T he Press Reporting that “the voice of the Catholic Press of Continental Europe has largely been silenced or muffled,” through the war, Frank A. Hall, director of the N. C. W . C. News Service, told the 30th annual meeting of the Catholic Press Association of the United States, in Detroit, that there falls upon the American Catholic Press “the heavy burden of leadership in carrying on a great and urgently needed work.” Six new Catholic newspapers and six new magazines were founded in the United States during the year, while the N. C. W. C. News Service showed a net gain of 16 new subscribers, or 10 more than the increase in the previous year. Subscribers in 25 countries are now being served. Perhaps the principal undertaking in the field of the Catholic Press dur­ ing the year was the initiation of plans for the addition of a world-wide news service in Spanish and Portuguese, under the aegis of the N. C. W . C. News Service, for the Catholic press of Latin-American nations. Some 1,200 dele­ gates from coast to coast took part in the National Catholic Educational Press Congress held at Marquette University in October. A comprehensive 174 YEARBOOK OF AMERICAN CHURCHES

survey conducted by The Lutheran, official organ of the United Lutheran Church, developed that the Catholic Church receives more secular news­ paper space than any single Protestant group, but that the total space given five major Protestant denominations is almost twice that accorded Catholic news. C hristian D octrine Pope Pius X II expressed “solid satisfaction and comfort” in the achieve­ ments already recorded by the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine in the United States, and appealed to its members to “continue to go forward to new conquests for Christ during the years which lie ahead.” This exhortation was contained in a letter to the Most Rev. Edwin V. O’Hara, Bishop of Kansas City and Chairman of the Episcopal Committee on the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. W ith regard to adult educa­ tion, the Confraternity reported that 48 dioceses are sponsoring religious discussion club programs in all parishes, some of these dioceses having 800 such clubs and others 400. A total of about 80,000 adults in 21 dioceses engaged in a study of their religion during the year as a result of Con­ fraternity activity. Revision of the Baltimore Catechism was completed, with a prospect that the revised English New Testament will be published in 1941. Literature distributed totaled 265,410 pieces. The special discourse addressed to the Catholics of the United States by Pope Pius X II, over the radio, on October 19, was deeply impressive. The Sovereign Pontiff’s words were a special Mission Sunday appeal, and lauded the “large-souled liberality” of American Catholics. Catholic priests, brothers and sisters continued to go out from the United States to foreign missions, and the Franciscans of the California Province were invited to take over several missions in Suchow Vicariate, China. The Catholic Medical Mission Board in New York reported that strife throughout the world was bringing agonized appeals from missionaries for more medical supplies.

Education Priests and seminarians studying in Europe were ordered home by their Bishops and Superiors as the war clouds darkened. An increase in ordina­ tions in the United States was revealed by a survey made public by the N. C. W . C. Department of Education. The report said 1,218 young men were ordained in 1938 as compared with 922 ordained in 1928. The total of 76,010 graduates receiving diplomas from Catholic schools last June set a record. Catholic school construction work valued at millions of dollars was begun in 1940. The Department of Superintendents of the National Catholic Educational Association asked in November that Catholic school CATHOLIC ACTIVITIES 175

authorities “continue their efforts to secure for Catholic school pupils a just share of the funds which are annually expended by the Federal Government and the individual States for the support of education.” Dedicating a Catholic high school in McSherrytown, Pa., Archbishop Cicognani, Apostolic Delegate, emphasized the responsibility of parents for the rearing and education of their children. The National Citizens Com­ mittee created by the W hite House Conference on Children in a Democracy, adopted a ten-point program, presented by the Rev. Dr. Bryan J. McEnte- gart, of the Child Care Division of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York, for child conservation in the national defense activities. New York State enacted legislation to provide religious education to public school children, and steps in this direction were taken in other parts of the country. The Attorney General’s office in Louisiana ruled that needy children in parochial and private schools are eligible to participate in the State free school lunch program. L ay Organizations The National Council of Catholic Women climaxed two decades of service to the Church with a convention at Detroit, where it received the Blessing of Pope Pius X II transmitted through the Apostolic Delegate. The National Council of Catholic Men pressed on to further achieve­ ments, especially in the field of radio broadcasting, where its “Catholic Hour” program, noting its tenth anniversary, brought a record-breaking total of 293,987 commendatory letters in three months. The Knights of Columbus received the thanks of Pope Pius X II for their gifts to the chapel of St. Peter’s Oratory, which is outstanding among five playgrounds in Rome established by the K. of C. The K. of C. pledged “hearty support to the Bishops’ crusade to emphasize doctrines at once American and Catholic, through the civic education program sponsored by the Commission on American Citizenship under the auspices of the Catholic University of America.”

M onument to C hrist Demolition of the old headquarters building of the N. C. W . C. at 1312 Massachusetts Avenue, N. W ., in the National Capital, was begun at the close of the year to make way for the erection of a new headquarters building and the construction of the monument to Christ, the Light of the W orld, to be erected as the outcome of a campaign conducted by Our Sunday Visitor, of which the Most Rev. John F. Noll, Bishop of Fort Wayne, Ind., is editor. The monument w ill consist of a 90-foot white stone facade of the new building, with a sculptured statue of Christ standing in a semi-circular niche. 176 YEARBOOK OF AMERICAN CHURCHES

Hospitals William F. Montavon, Director of the Legal Department, N. C. W . C., appeared before the Senate Committee on Education and Labor to urge certain amendments to the National Hospital Construction Act of 1940. This measure proposed the erection of about 100 small hospitals in rural communities standing in need of such facilities. W hile agreeing in principle with the purposes of the bill, M r. Montavon urged changes, in the interest of the community, which should provide a higher degree of autonomy to a community in the administration of its hospital. M r. Montavon said he spoke for the N. C. W . C., the Catholic Hospital Association, and the Na­ tional Conference of Catholic Charities. His position was supported by representatives of the American Hospital Association and the Protestant Hospital Association. The silver jubilee convention of the Catholic Hospital Association adopted a resolution saying the Federal Government in its public health program should emphasize assistance to individual patients rather than to institutions. The 1940 Directory Number of Hospital Progress, official journal of the Catholic Hospital Association, said that of the 1,969,788 patients treated in Catholic hospitals in this country over a year, 57.8 per cent were non- Catholics. It was stated that, for the year 1939, there were 682 Catholic hospitals in the United States and 179 in Canada. A National Conference of Catholic Nurses was formally organized as a part of the N. C. W . C. program. A ttack A gainst Pope Pius A campaign of vilification against Pope Pius X II waged in Italy by Roberto Farinacci, Minister of State and editor of Regime Fascista, stirred deep resentment among Catholics in the United States, and numerous and earnest were the protests. The Rt. Rev. Michael J. Ready, General Secre­ tary of the National Catholic W elfare Conference, branded Signor Fari- nacci’s outpourings as a “hysterical, lying attack,” and asked : “Has it come to the point where a leading Italian Fascist and influential editor, seemingly with Government consent, finds it expedient to ape the clumsy, unscrupu­ lous propaganda methods of the Nazis?” The attacks stopped shortly afterward. Important A nniversaries Archbishop Cicognani headed a long list of dignitaries who took part in the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Catholic Hierarchy in California. His Excellency also attended ceremonies in the Minor Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Baltimore, on May 30, to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the establishment of CATHOLIC ACTIVITIES 177 the Catholic Hierarchy in the United States. The Apostolic Delegate also led Catholics in a series of ceremonies marking the 400th anniversary of the confirmation of the Society of Jesus. Other anniversaries included: The 375th anniversary of the founding of St. Augustine, Florida; the centenary of the Sisters of Providence in America, the centenary of the canonization of St. Alphonsus Liguori, founder of the Redemptorists; the centenary of the death of Father Demetrious Augustine Gallitzin, Prince of Russia and missionary to Western Pennsylvania; the centenary of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in the United States; the centenary of Fordham University; the diamond jubilee of The Catholic W orld; the silver jubilee of the Central Association of the Miraculous Medal; the silver jubilee of the Catholic Hospital Association; and the 20th anniversary of The Daily Tribune of Dubuque, Iowa, English Catholic daily.

B y L o u is M i n s k y , Religious News Service

The years 1939 and 1940 were marked by numerous activities in all fields of Jewish communal affairs, with a notable tendency toward closer coopera­ tion and greater coordination of effort. Among the major developments during this period were intensification of religious life and marked expan­ sion in religious education. The necessity of caring for refugees and an increasing number of Jews abroad affected by the war resulted in unprece­ dented relief efforts. The United States became the center of Zionist efforts, and American Jewry generally assumed leadership in Jewish life throughout the world.

J e w i s h R e l ig io u s L if e Unity in the religious field assumed mainly an organizational character. The Synagogue Council of America, composed of representatives of all the major religious bodies, assumed new life and importance. Another trend to­ wards unity was discernible in the return to traditional practices within the Reform wing. A number of congregations, for example, discontinued their Sunday services and returned to the traditional Friday evening services. This tendency was accompanied by an increasing emphasis upon ceremonials. On the other hand, the trend toward the Americanization of Orthodox Judaism continued. Rabbis with European training are often being succeeded by young American-born men, trained in American seminaries. Moderniza­ tion is proceeding all along the line without the sacrifice of basic principles, a trend regarded as being all to the good and indicating that both these branches of Judaism should be stronger with young people than ever before in the past. The national conventions of religious organizations, the pronouncements and resolutions of which, to a great extent, reflect the religious thought of the Jewish community, dealt with a number of problems affecting Jewry, religion and democracy. Among these were, the threat of totalitarianism to religion and democracy, the need for intensifying religious education, em­ phasis upon social justice and civil liberties, and concern with national defense and the preservation of peace. The Union of American Hebrew Congregations, (Reform) at its 36th biennial Council in Cincinnati, January 7-19, 1939, announced the organiza­ tion of a new affiliate, a National Federation of Temple Youth, to serve jointly with its older affiliates, the National Federation of Temple Brother­ hoods and Sisterhoods. It adopted resolutions expressing appreciation of President Roosevelt’s encouragement to religion as an institution indispen- 180 ORGANIZED JUDAISM 181 sable to America, reaffirming the right of asylum, and expressing opposition to all forms of dictatorships. The Central Conference of American Rabbis (Reform) opened its 50th Annual Convention in Washington on June 13, 1939, with a presidential message by Rabbi M ax C. Currick, in which he proposed a Jewish religious front in America. Before concluding its five-day sessions the Conference adopted the report of its Commission on Social Justice, condemning Nazism, Fascism and Communism, and urging the passage of various social legislative measures then before the Congress of the U. S. The Conference also called upon all religious groups in America to join in counteracting un-American and irreligious propaganda. At its 51st annual convention at Charlevoix, Michigan, June 18-23, 1940, the Central Conference endorsed the national defense policy. Reaffirming concern with Israel’s historic ideal of peace, jh e report of the Committee on International Peace advocated a union of Jewish forces to secure civil rights for Jews upon the restoration of peace. The conference also approved the report of its Social Justice Commission, which called for the maintenance of civil liberties and the expansion of liberal legislation. It also upheld the position of Jewish religious conscientious objectors to war. The Rabbinical Assembly of America (Conservative) held its 39th an­ nual convention at Asbury Park, N. J., July 4, 1939. The Assembly passed resolutions urging shorter school days to allow more time for religious edu­ cation, repudiating all forms of totalitarianism, protesting Great Britain’s Palestine stand, commending rehabilitation work accomplished by the Ameri­ can Society of Friends among refugees, and supporting the Wagner-Rogers Child Refugee bill. The convention also reported an increase in adult Jewish education projects. A t the 40th annual convention in Detroit, June 25-July 8, 1940, Rabbi M ax Arzt, president of the Rabbinical Assembly, urged a broad program for the strengthening of the democratic system in the United States. Resolutions were passed urging support of 1‘every necessary measure of national defense” but at the same time warning of the danger should we “in our hysterical haste to resist the enemy, adopt his weapons of persecution, injustice and group hatreds.” Also adopted was a six-point declaration reaffirming faith in democracy and the maintenance of civil rights and calling for exertion of effort on behalf of the underprivileged and increased support for Palestine. The United Synagogue of America, at its biennial convention held in Atlantic City, M ay 12-13, 1940, emphasized the relation between religion and democratic development. The organization decided to create a national committee for defense of the American way. The delegates also adopted plans to expand and coordinate Jewish religious education. 182 YEARBOOK OF AMERICAN CHURCHES

The Rabbinical Council of America (Orthodox) at its meeting at Haines Falls, N. Y., on June 27, 1939, reaffirmed its adherence to democracy and condemned all- forms of totalitarianism. A t the Council’s 1940 convention, held in New York, August 19-21, several prominent rabbis stressed the need for greater unity among the Jews of the United States and emphasized the necessity of promoting religion among Jewish youth.

J ewish Education The most notable development during the years 1939 and 1940 in the field of Jewish education was the adoption by various bodies of extensive educa­ tional programs. The American Association for Jewish Education, organized in 1939 to serve as a coordinating agency for lay leadership and for bureaus of Jewish education throughout the country, held its first annual meeting in Atlantic City on M ay 5, 1940. Resolutions adopted at the meeting called for the establishment of a field service, a national board of license for certification of Hebrew teachers, and cooperation with the National Council for Jewish Education in conducting the annual Jewish Education Month and Week. The Jewish Education Committee was formed in November, 1939, to administer the gift of $1,000,000 given by the Michael Friedsam Founda­ tion for Jewish Education in New York City. A program to supervise and coordinate fund-raising and pedagogical work of Jewish schools in Greater New York was outlined. The Committee began publication in 1940 of World-Over, a fortnightly news-pictorial paper for Jewish children. A joint appeal to Jewish congregations for the improvement of the stand­ ard of education in traditional schools was issued on December 9, 1939, by the Rabbinical Council of America and the Union of Orthodox Jewish Con­ gregations. Following a series of conferences between representatives of orthodox schools, the Committee on Orthodox Hebrew Education in Greater New York was formed in January, 1940, to guide New York Talmud Torahs. The opening of orthodox schools for girls in New York, Cincinnati, Cleveland and other cities was also announced by Agudath Israel, an Ortho­ dox organization, in April, 1940. An intensive program of religious educa­ tion was adopted by the United Synagogue of America in December, 1939, and plans for its implementation were discussed at its convention in May, 1940. The National Federation of Temple Brotherhoods, which had taken over supervision of the work of the Jewish Chautauqua Society, an independent group for over thirty years, announced that the Society’s program of educa­ tion would be extended to the colleges and communities of the country. Under its sponsorship the University of Virginia offered a course in Jewish ORGANIZED JUDAISM 183 religion during the 1940 summer session, and the Society reported, on April 16, 1940, that 135 colleges in 44 states were being visited by its speaker staff of nearly 100 rabbis. A wide extension program was undertaken in 1939 by the National Hillel Commission of the B’nai B’rith, which serves Jewish students on college campuses throughout the country. W hen the colleges opened in 1939, 21 new units were established. Further expansion of the program was made in 1940. At the beginning of the second semester of the 1940-41 college year there were 57 Hillel units in every section of the country, serving in excess of 30,000 Jewish students. The Institute for Interdenominational Studies was begun under a grant from Lucius N. Littauer in the fall of 1939 at the Jewish Theological Sem­ inary of America in New York City. The Institute began its second year on November 12, 1940, under the changed name of Institute for Religious Studies. The first and second volumes of the Universal Jewish Encyclopedia were published in 1939 and 1940. This is the first work of its kind produced under American auspices since the publication of the Jewish Encyclopedia, 35 years ago. The Encyclopedia is to be in ten volumes. Celebration of the 900th anniversary of the birth of Rashi, outstanding Hebrew scholar and foremost commentator on biblical and Talmudic litera­ ture, was marked by a public exhibition at the museum of the Jewish Theo­ logical Seminary of over a hundred books and manuscripts of Rashi and his historians. Other Rashi celebrations were held throughout the country sponsored by Jewish education and cultural institutions.

W elfare Organizations Due to the increase of problems facing Jews, both in the United States and abroad, the two-year period under review saw the welfare agencies of the Jewish Community engaged in unprecedented activity. The seventh general assembly of the Council of Jewish Federations and W elfare Funds, held in Detroit, January 27-29, 1940, was the largest in the history of the Council. The assembly was concerned principally with the financing of overseas relief and refugee programs, but also devoted con­ siderable attention to the coordination of civic-protective work, Jewish edu­ cation and the development of the Jewish settlement in Palestine. A t the previous assembly, held in Baltimore, January 21-23, 1939, the need for unprecedented giving to meet emergency conditions was emphasized. The National Conference of Jewish Social W elfare held its annual con­ vention in Buffalo, June 14-17, 1939, and formed a Jewish Occupational Council to study the economic adjustment for American Jews. At the fol- 184 YEARBOOK OF A M ER IC A N CHURCHES

lowing annual convention, May 22-26, 1940, in Pittsburgh, Pa., Morris D. Waldman, Secretary of the American Jewish Committee, declared that events in Europe had shifted the perspective of Jewish social work from phil­ anthropy to Jewish self-preservation. M r. Waldman emphasized the need of training for the administration of public relations and overseas relief activities. The Yearbook of Jewish Social W ork, published by the Council of Jewish Federations and W elfare Funds in June, 1940, showed that the volume of service provided by homes for the aged, general hospitals and clinics under Jewish auspices, was at its peak during the year. The National Refugee Service reported that more than 3,500 refugees were moved into new communities in the United States during 1939, and over 1,500 were resettled during the first three months of 1940. William Haber, executive director of the Service, declared that the refugees coming from Germany and other European countries were more rapidly adjusting themselves to American ways of life than any other immigrant group since the Civil W ar. The 96th annual meeting of the executive committee of the B’nai B’rith held in Tampa, Fla., on February 4, 1940, pledged support of the move­ ment to keep America at peace, condemned Nazi and Soviet aggressors, appealed for efforts to develop the Jewish settlement in Palestine, and stressed the need for unrelenting effort in preserving democratic traditions. The National Council of Jewish Women held its 16th triennial conven­ tion in New York, November 10-14, 1940. The Convention adopted resolu­ tions supporting President Roosevelt’s policy of keeping this country out of war, favoring admission of refugee children from the war zone, advocating a “congressional-executive-civilian defense commission,” and opposing at­ tempts to militarize agencies set up by the government to meet social and economic needs. The council also reaffirmed its support of public housing, Federal minimum wage and maximum hour legislation, and of child labor, anti-lynching and uniform marriage and divorce laws.

Palestine Problems The outbreak of the war caused Great Britain to suspend for the duration of the hostilities the projection of a policy with reference to Jewish immigra­ tion, which had been vigorously protested by the Jews of the United States and by many Christian leaders. The proposed policy for Palestine was announced in a “White Paper” issued on May 17, 1939, which proposed permanent minority status for the Jews, restricted Jewish immigration to 10,000 persons annually for five years, after which Jewish immigration would be banned, and further decreed ORGANIZED JUDAISM 185

entry of additional 25,000 refugees, subject to approval of the High Com­ missioner, who will also regulate and prohibit land sales. British-guided representative government would be established after five years, followed by an independent state within ten years. The reaction to this “W hite Paper” was swift. A storm of indignation in the United States followed its publication. On May 21st, 1939, thousands of Jews attended protest rallies in large cities. Senator William King of Utah, in a Senate speech, termed Great Britain’s Palestine policy, “betrayal of the Jews.” A cable appealing to Prime Minister Chamberlain to fulfill the terms of the Balfour Declaration was signed by W illiam Green, John L. Lewis, Senator Robert F. Wagner, Fiorello LaGuardia and other promi­ nent personalities. On M ay 22nd two hundred and fifty Jewish leaders from 26 states urged Secretary of State Cordell Hull to refuse recognition of the W hite Paper on the grounds of the 1924 Anglo-American Convention agreement. On May 26th, fifteen of the 25 members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, headed by Representative Hamilton Fish, Jr., requested the State Depart­ ment to protest on the same grounds. Replying several days later to this and other Congressional statements in a letter to 150 members of Congress, Secretary Hull reaffirmed the position that the United States could not prevent changes in the status of the Holy Land, but would take all necessary measures for the protection of American rights and interests in Palestine. The outbreak of the war, however, caused a suspension of efforts on the part of Great Britain to implement the policy of the “W hite Paper.” Immi­ gration was allowed to continue as part of the defense program. As the war progressed Zionist opinion tended to shelve differences with Britain in regard to Palestine policy in order not to impede the successful prosecution of the war. Zionist bodies, in the meantime, made plans for increased immigration and financial aid to Palestine. The fifth annual National Conference for Palestine, meeting under the auspices of the United Palestine Appeal in Washington, D. C., January 6-7, 1940, heard reports of progress in land purchases and developments in Pales­ tine and adopted plans for increased fund-raising efforts through the United Jewish Appeal. The 43rd annual convention of the Zionist organization of America held in Pittsburgh, June 30-July 2, 1940, urged the British Gov­ ernment to give Palestine Jews the right to arm in defense of their country, and heard reports that continued immigration would be assured despite the w ar. The 26th annual convention of Hadassah, the W omen’s Zionist Organiza­ tion, held at Cincinnati, October 30-November 3rd, 1940, adopted a reso- 18 6 YEARBOOK OF AMERICAN CHURCHES

lution asking the British Government “to welcome the demands of the Jewish community in Palestine which hopes to achieve its natural right to fight side by side with Great Britain against a common enemy.” The Con­ vention agreed to raise $1,150,000 for work in Palestine during the ensuing twelve months. The Mizrachi Women’s Organization voted during May, 1940, to raise $100,000 for the establishment of a colony in Palestine in honor of the country’s Chief Rabbi, Isaac Herzog.

A id for Overseas Communities Anti-Jewish outrages throughout Germany and Austria in November, 1938, demonstrated the need for larger funds for the relief of Jewry abroad, a fact which, in turn called for unusually intensive fund-raising methods. As a result, major overseas relief agencies organized a new type of combined drive to yield larger funds during 1939. The Joint Distribution Committee, the United Palestine Appeal and the National Refugee Service, Inc., joined in the formation of the United Jewish Appeal for Refugees and Overseas Needs for 1939, and inaugurated a cam­ paign for $20,000,000. The total raised during 1939 was over $15,000,000, marking a peak for recent years. Approximately 3,200 Jewish communities throughout the country participated in the 1939 effort. Of this sum the Joint Distribution Committee was alloted $8,150,000, the United Palestine Appeal $4,000,000, and the National Refugee Service, Inc., $3,100,000. $250,000 was divided equally and presented to Rev. George A. Buttrick, President of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America in behalf of Protestant refugees, and to Pope Pius X II as a memorial to Pope Pius X I for Catholic refugees. The agreement for a united appeal was renewed for the year 1940. In­ creased needs resulting from the war required a total of $23,000,000. Under the initial agreement, of the first $11,250,000, the Joint Distri­ bution Committee received $5,250,000, the United Jewish Appeal, $2,- 500,000, and the National Refugee Service, $3,500,000. The allotment com­ mittee decided that of funds raised over the $11,250,000, the J. D. C. was ’ to receive $800,000 for each $400,000 to go to the United Palestine Appeal. The National Refugee Service was to receive no further funds. Approxi­ mately $14,250,000 was raised in all. The Joint Distribution Committee, chief American agency for aid to dis­ tressed Jews overseas, announced that it had extended relief activity to Jews in more than fifty countries, belligerent and non-belligerent, in 1939 and 1940, and that in fourteen months from the outbreak of the war on Septem­ ber 1, 1939 to October 31, 1940, it spent $8,269,247 for a program of relief and rehabilitation. In Nazi-occupied Poland daily assistance was given to fully 250,000 Jewish men, women and children, it was stated. ORGANIZED JUDAISM 187

In unoccupied France a minimum of 50,000 French, German, Belgian and Dutch refugees are said to require help, while 400,000 Jews remaining in the countries of Greater Germany— old Germany, Austria, Bohemia- Moravia and Slovakia— have become increasingly dependent on the Com­ mittee. The United Palestine Appeal reported that from January, 1939, to De­ cember, 1940, it helped more than 40,000 refugees reach the shores of Pales­ tine. In September, 1939, when the war closed normal shipping lanes, new routes were opened up through Russia, the Cape of Good Hope, and over­ land through Turkey and Syria. Seven new settlements were established in 1940, bringing to a total of 257 the number of agricultural colonies that form the backbone of modern Jewish Palestine. The economic dislocations of the war increased the responsibilities of the agencies of the United Pales­ tine Appeal. New industrial enterprises were initiated to provide additional employment, and relief had to be distributed among 75,000 Jews affected by the economic recession of the war. New markets were developed for Palestine products. The work of the National Refugee Service, formed in 1939 to coordinate on a national scale all services for refugees in the United States, was re­ ported under welfare organizations, above.

Hill Street, Los Angeles, Calif.; 808 Broadway, Nashville, Tenn. PURPOSE: to enable the medical missionaries of all Protestant Boards of Missions to care for and, when possible, to cure lepers. The Mission is the recognized auxiliary for this special ministry of ail the Boards, denominational and non-denominational. These Boards, as a rule, make no appropriation for the maintenance of leper work but rely on the Mission for the support of their own work of this kind. The service of lepers is equally physical and spiritual, the two inseparably joined as they were in the life of our Lord. The missionary leper colonies are Christian communities in which forsaken and lonely people find the love of Cod through the love of men.

199 AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY Founded 1816 For one hundred twenty-five years the American Bible Society has been the primary agency of the American churches in the translation, publication and distribution of the Holy Scriptures throughout America and the world. In these crucial days mankind desperately needs the positive answer found in the Book. The American Bible Society appeals to the churches and individuals of America to make possible the supply of Bibles, Testaments and Portions not only to the mission­ ary frontiers of the world but also to dislocated multitudes, refugees, prisoners of war, men under arms and in training camps in this country. Further information will gladly be supplied by THE SECRETARIES AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY Park Ave. & 57th Street, New York, N. Y.

AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY Organized 1825 The century-old missionary agency of the churches for the publica­ tion and distribution of evangelical literature in many languages. PLEASE OBSERVE That the Society. 116 years old, is now doing more and better work than for decades and by wise adaptation is now thoroughly abreast with the times. That debt-free, its business operations are highly approved with excellent credit. That it is the Depository of the ablest and best evangelical literature, tracts, books and hymnals. That its new monthly paper TRUTH is unique, virile, dynamic. That its annuity contract is absolutely reliable and appraised one of the best issued. That it is reaching through its English, foreign-language publications and colporteurs thousands otherwise deprived of the Gospel message. That it is recognized as the most successful American opponent to Atheism and other baneful isms. WILL YOU HELP? The gifts of churches and individuals, beauests in wills, annuity agreements are solicited to meet urgent needs and new demands for the Society’s indispensable service. American Tract Society 21 West 46th Street, New York, N. Y.

204 205 BOY SCOUTS OF «MERIC* Chartered by Congress, June 15, 1916

Scouting offers a program of activity with achievement and recogni­ tion on three age levels. Beginning with Cubbing for boys nine to twelve, it carries through the period of early adolescence and Troop Scouting and continues with Senior Scouting for young men in their late teens and early twenties. There is no break in the boy’s interest as he passes on from Cub­ bing into Troop Scouting and from Troop Scouting into Senior Scouting— Sea Scouts, Explorers and Rovers. The Churches lead all institutions in organizing and adminis­ tering Scout Troops. The Church has more to give in life-time values than any other type of parent institution. Scout leaders are required to maintain conditions such that the Church is supported in its efforts to help the boy to lead a truly religious life. Consult your local telephone directory for the Boy Scout office in your city, or write to the Boy Scouts of America, Two Park Ave­ nue, New York City.
