They reported that while over all U. S. church enrollment has been soaring to an all-time high of more than 100 million, church es in rural areas and in the downtown sections of big cities the two extremes of popula tion density have been losing members steadily. The uneven impact of the back-to-church movement is now under close study by officials of major denominations. Here are some of the facts they have es tablished. Most of the thousands of new churches built since World War II have gone up in suburban areas. Even so, the typical sub urban church has an overflow ing congregation and is casting about for more space. During the same period, rural churches have been closing at a rate ' of nearly 1,000 a year. Many of those still open are struggling for survival with sharply reduced membership and budgets. Protestant churches, particu larly, are disappearing from the "inner city' at what the Nation al Council of Churches calls an alarming rate." For example, on ly two major Protestant church es survive in downtown St. Louis, three in Cleveland's inner city. Part of the answer but only part is the great shift in popu lation that has occurred since the war. The suburbs have swol len enormously, while rural and downtown areas have lost pop ulation. A related factor in the plight of downtown churches is the in flux of many Negro residents into neighborhoods formerly oc cupied almost entirely by whites. Churches located in these "changing neighborhoods" are confronted with a choice be tween racial integration or go ing to the suburbs with their white parishioners. Some pioneering churches have chosen to stand fast and tackle the problems by achiev ing "color blind" Christian fel lowship. But many more have taken the easier course of sell ing their valuable downtown land and using the money to relocate in the suburbs. Diagnosing the trouble of rural churches is more compli cated. Dr. James M. Carr of th Presbyterian church, says they are folding because "they aren't doing the job they're supposed to do" and are "failing to meet the needs of the people.
