Methodist Church Launches Four Year Crusade for Christ
The Methodist Church led by its Council of Bishops begins a four year Crusade for Christ with five aims including public opinion for a post war world order, expanded Sunday schools, evangelism and stewardship, plus a relief fund of 15 million overseas and 10 million in the United States. Bishop J Ralph Magee directs the effort and Dr R F E Diffendorfer comments on Japan’s industrial path and the need for Christian influence nationwide. The plan also calls for expanded ministry to relieve suffering and a large allocation for war relief and congregational support.
