Title: Map shows ‘unchurched’ population.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-46065 MAP SHOWS ‘UNCHURCHED’ POPULATION WASHINGTON, D.C. -- This map of the continental United States shows, on a county-by-county basis, the percentage of the “unchurched" population as of 1971. The term “unchurched" in this case refers to all those persons who are not on the church rolls of any Christian denomination. The dark grey areas on the map indicate counties where more than 60 percent of the population are not on Christian church membership rolls, while the light grey areas are counties where 40 to 60 percent can be considered unchurched. The white areas have been, according to the data available, up to 40 percent of the population belonging to a Christian denomination. The map was prepared by the Glenmary Research Center, Washington, D.C., a Roman Catholic agency, and is based on data on church membership rolls found in “Churches and Church Membership in the United States: 1971" issued earlier this year. The study was compiled by Douglas W. Johnson, staff associate at the National Council of Churches’ Office of Research, Evaluation and Planning, New York; Paul R. Picard, director of research, Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod, St. Louis; and Father Bernard Quinn, director of the Glenmary Research Center. While the data contained in the report encompasses just 80.9 percent of Christian church members, on the map county percentages of the unchurched were adjusted downwards to compensate for the unreported 19.2 percent. Also, since some denominations counted all baptized persons, including infants, and others did not, for the purposes of the map, membership statistics have been adjusted so that children of members in denominations that do not count infants are not included among the unchurched.
