Abstract
For the majority of religious institutions for whom data are available, the year was one of declining income and of increasing relief efforts. Church membership continued to gain slightly. A National Seminar of Catholics, Jews, and Protestants was held. In the realm of ideas and attitudes there is much evidence of ferment and reconstruction particularly among non-Catholic bodies. There were only rumblings of religious strife during the national election campaign, as contrasted with 1928. The economic crisis seems to be breeding a theology of crisis.
