100,000 New Churches by '75 for 40 Million Plus
The United States will need more than 100,000 new churches at cost of nearly $8 billion within the next 21 years according to Warren J. Taussig a Director of Church-Industry Relations for the National Association of Manufacturers
Experts in the U. S. Census Bureau anticipate a 40 million increase in our national population by 1975. NAM's Research Department estimated this population boom will bring with it a 28-million increase in church enrollment.
Taussig analyzes the scope of the challenge in these terms
1 The need for churches of all faiths to build and equip more than 100,000 more structures
2 The need to train approximately 75,000 more clergymen.
Taussig said the problem posed by record population growth is common to all phases of the national picture particularly churches, schools and industry
The Michigan-Ohio region has one of the highest per capita church populations of any comparable region in America
Although the problem of providing church buildings is great, Taussig points out, one of the most important elements of a national church program is the availability of trained clergymen and staff to expand facilities.
