Methodists Urge World Service and Racial Justice
A Detroit conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church called for stronger global service across all church departments. Bishops and lay leaders urged action for the sick and needy, immigrants, and racial equality, while emphasizing social justice over social equality for African Americans. President Harding praised church work in war and urged continued momentum. The meeting, led by Bishop McDowell, featured discussions on foreign-speaking missions, rural outreach, and the body as well as the soul of the church. Local nuptials included Miss Theodosia Keppee and James W. Payne.
