INTERCHURCH WORLD MOVE MENT PLANS NATION-WIDE SURVEY OF CONDITIONS AMONG NEGROES. Will .Make Study of Community Needs ‘—I)r. George E. Haynes Will Su perintend Survey. EW YORK, Dec. 1.—The Inter church World Movement is under taking a study of conditions of the Negro churches and Negro commun ities of the United States, both city and country, as a part of its plan of a complete survey of the church and community needs of the entire nation and of other countries through out the world. Church and community needs will be studied. Already schedules for rural condi tions have been prepared and are be ing sent to state representatives in all the states where Negroes reside. These schedules will be used by trained and competent Negro leaders and investigators who will visit their own churches and communities for gathering the facts. The churches will be studied along the lines of physical equipment, extent of the parish, financial resources, the min ister and the relation of the church to recreational and other activities of the community. The community will be studied from the point of view of land ownership, occupations, com munity organizations, roads and other means of travel, etc. In addition to the rural survey there will be special studies of Negro occupations, educa tional institutions and of city life. The survey will be so organized that in every state Where there is a considerable Negro population there will be a Negro associate supervisor carrying out the plans for the Negro surevy. There will be competent lead ers in every county to visit tlm Negro churches and communities gathering facts. A most important and unique feat ure of this program^tfill be inter raical councils, or ci^muittees, as the policy of this movement is to have councils of church representatives which shall be inter-racial. The rep resentatives of the colored churches will meet in council with represent atives of the white churches to talk over and make out plans for reaching both parts of the community. Dr. George E. Haynes, of the Unit ed States Department of Labor, has been called and arrangements made with him for supervising the survey among colored people without sever ing his connection as Director of Negro Economics for the Labor De partment. The Interchurch Movement is a co operative organization of Protestant denominations through their mission boards, home and foreign agencies and churches for the purpose of ef fectively meeting the new demands of the new day. The plans of the move ment call for careful study of the con ditions and equipment of each church and the needs of each community sur rounding each church. Following such a study, representatives of the churches will meet together and make up a practical program of work based upon facts which have been found. This practical program will aim to meet discovered needs both of the church and community. But the making of a program is effective only when the means are provided for carrying it out. There fore, the next step will be a plan to carry out an educational campaign through conventions, conferences, newspaper publicity, etc., to inform the people throughout the United States of the church and community needs and of the program to meet them. When the people are thus fully informed, the co-operating denomina tions that have been planning these forward movements will unite, in mak ing an appeal to their constituencies for the money and the leadership necessary to put the program into ef fective operation to meet the needs. This movement will not interfere in any way with the regular organiza tion of any church or denomination. The work from beginning to end will be done by representatives of the various denominations. The regular church and denominational organiza tions will be used as a means through which the work will be done. One of the most hopeful features of the movement is that it does not aim at federation or union of denominations, nor does it try to deal with adminis tration of any denominational activ ity. It is only attempting to carry plans through which each denomina tion may co-operate with all other denominations in meeting the re ligious and life needs of the people, while at the same time preserving de nominational independence. _ i For Monitor office call Doug. 3224.
