Recession Puts Crimp in Church
Building Boom Report Shows
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press International
The recession has put a
crimp in America's church
building boom.
But it's not a very big
crimp. By every standard ex
cept last year's all-time rec
ord, new church construction
is still proceeding at a phe
nomenal pace.
The Commerce Department
reports 389 million dollars
was spent on- religious con
struction during the first half
of 1958. That represents a
drop of about 3 per cent from
the 400-million-dollar outlay
recorded during the first half
of 1957.
Government economists at
tribute the drop to the tight
money market, the high in
terest rates and the general
uncertainty about future eco
nomic conditions that pre
vailed last winter.
Upswing Expected
Past experience undergirds
the assumption the decline
will be temporary. Church
building has set new records
every year since the end of
World War II. The annual out
lay climbed from 76 million
dollars in 1946 to 775 million
dollars in 1956 an increase
of 1,000 per cent over a 10
year period. In 1957, the full
year total was 866 million dol
lars. Behind the building boom
are two factors: The sharp rise
in U.S. church membership
since the war, and the great
population shift from the
cities to the suburbs.
The latter factor has been
the more important of the
two. If every existing church
were being used to capacity,

es are nearing the saturation

The Methodist church, the na
tion's largest Protestant de
nomination, concluded after
a recent survey that it will
have to build at least one new
church a day for the next 10
years just to keep pace with
suburban growth.
At a meeting in Detroit last
February, officials of 34 ma
jor denominations arrived at
an estimate that 2,000 new
churches will be needed each
year for the foreseeable ' fu
ture. If this estimate proves any
where near 'accurate, it is
likely the annual outlay for
church construction will top
the billion dollar mark by
1959 or 1960.

During East Event
About 90 of Jehovah's Wit
nesses from the Medford and
Central Point congregations
will attend an international
convention in New York City
July 27 through August 3.
T. R. Thompson, presiding
minister of the Medford con
gregation, in announcing the
plans ot the local delegates,
said a limited- program of
meetings will be held in the

Christian assembly. R. C.
Wood, an assistant minister,
will be in charge of the local
group during the convention.
Chartered Planes, Train, Boat

New York City via the Pana

try. Thompson said that the lo
cal delegates attending the in
ternational gathering will
benefit greatly not only from
the rich spiritual provisions,
but also, from Christian asso
ciation " with " Witnesses from
foreign lands.. The convention,
he said, will further the un
derstanding and good will
among the various races and
nationalities of Jehovah's Wit
nesses, and will also demon

Bible message and Christian
living can unite people from
all walks of life, regardless of
race or other backgrounds
that tend to divide the world.
