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.
