European Churches Face Poverty As Main Woe Says Bishop Harmon
Bishop Nolan B. Harmon reports poverty as the chief problem among European Methodist churches after a 21 nation tour. He notes low pastor salaries in West Germany, church funded housing with rentals, and deaconess hospitals that self-finance. He praises hospitals and the Naples Casa Materna project, and highlights Luther and Lutheran state church tolerance amid waning local church attendance.
