Title: Conversion efforts.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-31746 CONVERSION EFFORTS NOTRE DAME, Ind. -- This chart was prepared by a Roman Catholic theologian after study of a nationwide survey. According to Father John A. O’Brien, research professor of theology at the University of Notre Dame, American Catholics lack missionary zeal. Protestants, he noted, are more than twice as active as Catholics in seeking converts. Baptists lead American Christians in that field; 67 per cent of all Baptists actively seek to win others to their church. Following them are “other smaller Protestant denominations,” 61 per cent; Presbyterians, 59; Methodist, 56; Episcopalians, 54; Lutherans, 49; Congregationalists, 32; and Catholics, 28 per cent. In 1963 there were only 125,670 conversions to Catholicism in the U.S., a decade low, and 17,000 below the record high established in 1959. Father O’Brien said it required 361 Catholics to win one convert in 1963. “What it really means,” he said, “is that only about five of the 361 make any effort to share their faith. The remaining 356 don’t lift a finger to help.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (FRE-NY-10D-64-W)
