Abstract

Within the limited confines of this thesis the writer wishes to examine the problem of' Lutheran church work in the blighted areas of our cities. In order to set the stage for such an evaluation he believes that a brief overview into the physical and social conditions which exist in the blighted area might be helpful. Secondly, the writer wishes to summarize briefly the type and extent of programs which are presently being carried out by other church bodies in the blighted areas of our cities. Thirdly, he wishes to examine the present policies and programs carried on by Lutheran Churches in the blighted area. Finally, the writer will present an overall critique and evaluation of the type and scope of church programs which the Lutheran Church may use to serve the redemptive cause of Christ in the best possible way.
