Need for Native Clergymen
Stressed by Church Leaders
BY LOUIS CA5SELI
United rim International
have been warning for years
that a radical change in mis
sionary strategy is necessary
if Christianity Is to make head
way against the tide of nation
alism sweeping the undevel
oped countries of the world.
They have said that foreign
missionaries must move into
the background and let native
clergymen take over the main
burden of preaching the gos
pel. Otherwise, the Christian
faith will be stigmatized as a
"white man's export."
What are American and
European churches doing to
adapt their mission programs
to this new fact of Interna
tional life?
Precious little.
Jarring Conclusion
That jarring conclusion
stands out from a massive
study of theological education
abroad, conducted for John
D. Rockefeller Jr's Seleantic
Fund by Yorke Allen Jr. Al
len's 640-page report, entitled
"A Seminary Survey," has
just been published by Har
per & Brothers.
It shows that seminaries for
training native clergymen
have not been given a high
priority in mission programs.
Quite the contrary.
Of the nearly 150 million
dollars which American Pro
testants contribute annually
to foreign missions, only
about $2,500,000 - less than
two per cent - is being in
vested in support of theologi
cal schools in Asia, Africa and
Latin America.
Of the 25,058 North Ameri
can Protestant missionaries
now in the field, only 433 -again,
less than two per cent
- are engaged primarily in
educating native-born candi
dates for the ministry.
Britain Does Little
Britain, the only other
Western country which sends
out a large number of Pro
testant missonaries, is doing
even less to train a home
grown clergy for the indi
genous "young churches." Its
leading missionary societies
earmark about one per cent
of their budgets for support
of seminaries.
Allen says the Catholic
church long neglected the
training of a native priesthood,
and in fact lagged behind Pro
testant churches in this effort
"until recently."
But he believes that the
Catholic church is now fully
awake to the implications of
the world situation, and that
in recent years it has been
"proceeerilng at a greater rate
than the Protestant churches"
to build up a large, adequately
- educated native clergy.
He notes that in 1923, the
Catholic church had eo for
eign priests for every 40 local
Family Week To
Close Sunday
The Medford Church of the
Brethren will bring to a close
its observance of National
Family week Sunday.
Mrs. Escll HLscr will speak
in the morning worship serv
ice on the subject, "The Chris
tian Family." In observance of
family week "Mother's Day"
was observed last Sunday and
a Mother - Daughter banquet
Monday. The banquet speak
er was Miss Anna Warstler
who spoke on the subject,
"Things to Live By."
Miss Warstler is on tour of
the Brethren churches from
the general offices in Elgin,
111. and loft by plane the fol
lowing morning for Portland.
Music for the program was
supplied by two duets, one
on violin by Terry Birman
and Sharon McClellan and
the other on the flute by Lin
da Acnrd and Jane Rush, The
Medford High School Madri
gal sinners under the direc
tion of Lynn Sjoland sang
l three numbers.
In the Sunday morning
service marking the clote of
the family week observance,
six youth will assist; Linda
Nelson. Ernie Bolz, Deloris
Pool, Wilma Price, Ronald
Tompkins and Jimmle Evern
den. The pastor, the Rev. F.scil
Hisor, will be absent from

Proleitani Effort Fragmented
The Catholic church is
able to adapt its strategy more
readily because its entire
global mission is under cen
tral control of the Vatican,
but the Protestant missionary
effort is fragmented almost be

than 450 separate Protestant
boards and agencies in the
world which are conducting
missionary activities of some

Many of them are supported
by fundamentalist groups

which, Allen says, are still
wedded to the 18th Century
concept of missionary en
deavor, and are not interest
ed in training an ldigenous
ministry overseas.
This places an even greater
responsibility on the big,
ecumenically-minded Protest
ant denominations, Allen con
lends. If there is to be ade
quate financial support for
Protestant theological educa
tion in underdeveloped coun
tries, it will have to come pri
marily from such U.S. bodies
as the Methodists, Baptists,
Presbyterians, Episcoplaians,
Lutherans, Christians and Uni
ted Church of Christ.
