Topic: The Situation of the Churches in Europe

Henry Smith Leiper

The Christian Science Monitor

[Henry Smith Leiper, Foreign Secretary, Federal Council of Churches, in The Christian Science Monitor, Boston, Massachusetts]

What is the situation in the German churches now? Has there been, as so often asserted, a lessening of pressure on account of the war? What about the church opposition? Is the youth work of the church allowed to go forward at all? What about the training of the ministry of the future? How has the war affected the leadership of parish life in general?

The supply of information direct from Germany—that is, of information that can be trusted—is strictly limited. It would be dangerous to generalize too much from the few facts which we know beyond question.
