.- *ark Avenue Group : h^e are located the
ling" churches of all denominations. They
the best buildings, the best music and the
ling" ministers. Little progress in city
ion movements can be made without the
ial and hearty support of the pastors and



official boards of these churches. They are
largely in control of the financial resources of
the denominations.
5. St. Johns-on-the-Heights: small church in
exclusive residential section; a difficult mission
field.
6. New and promising Suburban Church : the
Comity principle ought to be strictly observed
in occup3dng this field.
7. The Italian Mission: with an Italian-speak-
ing pastor; emphasis on evangelism; often
poorly equipped, with limited leadership.
8. The Neighborhood Houseor Settlement: first
contact with the conununity established through
its child life; program adapted to meet the
needs of this particular conununity. Possibly
limited in its contacts with the adult foreign
population because of the lack of foreign-
speaking workers on its staff.
9. The Negro Church: emphasis on evangel-
ism; no social equipment; tremendous need
among these instinctively religious people.
10. Goodwill Mission for the Handicapped: in
many cities equipped with facilities for indus-
trial work.
This brief summary of the outstanding problems
of the city from the standpoint of the church
makes clear that from a denominational stand-
point the total resources of the church must
be mobilized for a city-wide program. If this
is true for any denomination it is more urgent
that the entire resoim;es of all the Protestant
churches should be coordinated and more effec-
tively directed to the Christianizing of the city's
life. For this the Interchurch World Movement
stands. Preliminary to the making of a program
for the city, a survey of all its conunimities and
of all its churches is required.
