Religious leaders urge global church mission amid student abroad debate
The Episcopal presiding bishop Rt. Rev. Henry Knox Sherrill warns that the public’s loss of spiritual unity harms America as church and educational leaders question what foreign students learn about the United States. A survey by the Institute of International Education tallies 9,262 American students in 836 colleges abroad in 70 countries. The effort includes Alan Walker’s Mission to the Nation in Australia and Canada, with U.S. events under the Methodist Board of Evangelism and a General Conference address series. Church-building boom in 1956 nears $850 million, with trend toward contemporary design and deeper faith messaging. Leaders urge mobilizing a worldwide Christian witness amid rising crime, religious nonaffiliation, and youth ministry needs.
