Neighborhood
Church Called
'Self-Centered'
Br LOUIS CASSELS -United
Press International
The typical neighborhood
church is "self-centered." It is
so preoccupied with its own
welfare as an institution that
it gives little thought to serv
ing others.
So says a well-known Epis
copal layman, who thinks it's
time for churches to begin
practicing what they preach
about unselfishness.
The outspoken layman is
Peter Day of Milwaukee, Wis.,
editor of Living Church mag
azine. His indictment of all-too-parochial
parish churches is
contained in a new book,
"Saints on Main Street," pub
lished by Seabury Press of
Greenwich, Conn.
Truth Not Recognized
Day points out, in the
words of the New Testament,
that Jesus "came not to be
ministered unto, but to min
ister, and to give His life as
a ransom for many."
If a parish church is really
part of the "body of Christ,"
it should live by the same
standard, he said. But he
sees little evidence that this
truth is widely recognized.
"This is a great period of
prosperity in the life of the
parishes." He says, "Most of
them are growing according
to every index of success.
Their membership is on the
rise, the Sunday school is
bursting at the seams, old
debts are being paid off, new
ones are easily floated for
ambitious new building proj
ects, men and women are ac
tive in parish groups, finan
cial contributions are increas
ing, and people are praying,
studying and working harder
than ever before.
Using Different Norms
"There is, however, a curi
ously introverted quality
about the entire enterprise
Typically, "the. parish meas
ures its progress not accord
ing to the norms of its serv
ice to community and world,
but according to the norms
of its own size and financial
strength. Similarly, it meas
ues the usefulness of its
members not by their service
to mankind but by their serv
ice to the parish itself."
Day believes that he and
other laymen are largely to
blame for allowing the
church to become "introvert
ed." By defaulting on their
responsibility to play a ma
jor role in church life, lay
men have allowed or com
pelled - clergymen to run
"practically the whole show."
However dedicated a Chris
tian a- clergyman may be,
Day says, he is conditioned
by his training and environ
ment to concentrate on
"church work" rather than
"the work of the church" in
the outside world.
