Religious bodies grow steadily in postwar America
CHURCA NEWS notes a prosperous year for social service in Catholic and Protestant groups. Protestant membership averages about two and a quarter percent, Catholic slightly higher due to immigration, mirroring population growth. Baptists expand in the midwest and southwest while Disciples of Christ stay in the midwest and Pacific coast. Episcopal rises in large eastern cities. Methodist, strongest in north and south, weak in big cities as shifts to Presbyterian and Episcopal continue. Presbyterian absorbs smaller bodies, building one of the nation's largest churches.
