Missionaries Debate City Missionary Challenges and Population Shifts
Dr. Robert A. McKibben addresses the Methodist church department of city work noting America's population rose from 25 million to 155 million in a century and that over half now live in large communities. He cites suburb growth, urban tensions, housing for low income, and the need for trained clergy to serve inner city residents amid urban paganism. Michigan received $240,000 in fishing tackle tax receipts under the Dingell Johnson act, ranking third largest in 1955.
