MAIL TRIBUNE I The consensus was that Methodists and other Protes tant denominations are con centrating too much of their attention on the relatively prosperous suburbs, and too little on the blighted "inner city" areas where million of families have no church ties. Need Missionary Work The conclusions of the three-day conference were documented, with typical Methodist thoroughness, by a wide variety of surveys, sta tistical reports, and sociologi cal studies. ' Here are some of the most significant findings: A generation ago, the new families moving into the crowded inner sections of cities were European immi grants of predominantly Ro man Catholic background. To day the newcomers are white and Negro families from the South and from rural areas, with Protestant backgrounds Neither the Methodists, nor other major Protestant de nominations are effectively serving this vast "missionary field." One survey of 50 inner 1 city churcnes snoweo. mi more than half had barely held their own or had suffer ed a loss of membership dur ing the past 10 years while the population of their urban neighborhoods was rising sharply. Another showed startling low rates of church member ship and attendance among families living in apartment houses and mass housing proj ects. No City "Plan" Several sneakers noted xnai Pro t e s t a n t denominations have no overall plan for serv ing the inner city. Individual churches are "left to worn out their own problems as best they can." Many of them are in dire financial straits. They find it difficult to ob tain ministers. Elderly women comprise a disproportionately large percentage of the typi cal congregation, competent lay leaders 'are hard to find. The conferees decided mas the first step toward a solu tion of these problems is for church members everywhere psneciallv those in the booming suburbs to recog nize that they share tne re- sDonsibility for offering a vig orous Protestant ministry to the inner city. As one-report put it: "No individual church in a blighted area can stand alone. It must have the' moral and perhaps financial support of the entire denomination in the work it attempts to do." Lenten Services To Be Held at Zion Beginning Sunday, Zion Lutheran church, corner of Fourth and Oakdale, will hold two services each week in ad dition to the regular services of the church. On each Sunday at 7 p.m. there will be a devotional service designed around a study of the fundamental teachings of Christianity and the church.
