Porter Discusses Future of Protestantism in Manchester
The Rev. R. V. Porter spoke frankly on the future of Protestantism in the country. He urged stronger church loyalty like Catholics, questioned creedal splits, and urged consolidation of churches in towns like Manchester to boost attendance and religious interest. He cited 27,000,000 Protestant children not in Sunday school and 58,000,000 Protestants not in any church, noting a need for new methods beyond evangelistic approaches. The issue is seen as vital by leading Christian thinkers.
