Brooklyn as "The City of Churches" is rapidly losing its distinction as such since its incorporation into Greater New York, for the greater city is gaining the title. There are about fifty denominations of the Christian Church represented between the Battery and Harlem, with the same representation across the East River and in The Bronx. Besides the regular denominations there are many unsectarian missions and schools that are religious in their principles. In number of church edifices and established missions the Roman Catholic leads with 112 parishes in Manhattan and The Bronx, 87 in Brooklyn, 25 in the Borough of Queens and 12 in the Borough of Richmond. In Manhattan and The Bronx there are 94 Jewish synagogues and religious societies, 19 in Brooklyn, 1 in the Borough of Queens and 1 in the Borough of Richmond. Of the Protestant Christian denominations the Baptists have 47 church societies in Manhattan and The Bronx, 41 in Brooklyn, 12 in the Borough of Queens and 5 in the Borough of Richmond. Christian Scientists have 5 churches in Manhattan and The Bronx, 3 in Brooklyn and 1 in the Borough of Richmond. Congregationalists (Trinitarian) have 13 church societies in Manhattan and The Bronx, 29 in Brooklyn and 9 in the Borough of Queens. The There are three churches of the Disciples of Christ in Manhattan and The Bronx, but none in Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond. In Manhattan and The Bronx the Evangelical Association has 5 churches and 2 in the Borough of Queens. There are two bodies of Friends, or Quakers, in Manhattan and The Bronx. strength of the Lutherans, both divisions, is 51 churches in Manhattan and The Bronx, 52 in Brooklyn and 10 in the Borough of Queens. There are 60 churches of the Methodist Episcopal denomination in Manhattan and The Bronx, 58 in Brooklyn, 20 in Queens and 14 in Richmond. The African Methodist Episcopal Church, a separate denomination, has 7 churches in Manhattan and The Bronx, 3 in Brooklyn and 7 in Queens. In Brooklyn there are 3 churches of the Methodist Primitive denomination, 1 of the Methodist Protestant and 4 Pentecostal churches. The Moravians have 1 church in Brooklyn and 4 in the Borough of Richmond. Fifty-seven Presbyterian churches are located in Manhattan and The Bronx, 42 in Brooklyn, 11 in Queens and 3 in the Borough of Richmond. There are 85 parishes and missions of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Manhattan and The Bronx, 57 in Brooklyn, 27 in Queens and 15 in Richmond. Of the Reformed Church bodies, including the Reformed Church in America, the Reformed Church in the United States and the Reformed Episcopal Church, there are 36 societies in Manhattan and The Bronx, 5 in Brooklyn, 13 in Queens and 5 in Richmond. The churches of the Seventh Day Adventists and the Swedenborgians in Greater New York are 4 of the first denomination and 3 of the second in Brooklyn and 1 each in Manhattan and The Bronx. There are 5 churches of United Presbyterians in Manhattan and The Bronx and 3 in Brooklyn. The Unitarians have 3 churches in Manhattan and The Bronx, 5 in Brooklyn and 1 in Richmond, and the Universalists have 2 churches in Manhattan and The Bronx and 5 in Brooklyn. Eight churches of miscellaneous denominations are registered in Manhattan and The Bronx, 14 in Brooklyn, 5 in Queens and 4 in Richmond. Among the churches which are included under miscellaneous may be mentioned the Armenian National Church, the Greek Orthodox and Russian Orthodox churches, a church of the Latter Day Saints (Mormons), Beacon Light Rescue Mission, Broome Street Tabernacle, Gospel Tabernacle, Strangers' churches and People's tabernacles, Catherine Mission, Christian Gospel Mission, Deems Memorial Church, De Witt Memorial, Gospel Tabernacle, Eighth Avenue Mission. House of Lord's Mission, International Union, Mariners' Mission, Mizpah Seamen's Mission, Divine Providence Mission, New York Foreigners' Mission, Olivet Memorial. Unity Congregation, Wood Memorial Chapel, Church of Independent Dominion, Free Baptist Church, Fraternity of the Soul Community. Emanuel Mission, Powers Street (Brooklyn) Gospel Mission, Gospel Mission Church (Queens), Immanuel Union Church (Richmond), Swedish Mission Friends' Association (Richmond). But few of the churches with buildings are without regular pastors, though in the case of some of the missions parochial work is done by ministers from other parishes. Some of the miscellaneous churches are branches of established church societies and by right should be included with them. The Salvation Army and the Volunteers of America, while being religious in their work, are not included among the denominations, for their work is entirely unsectarian and more of the nature of the "institutional church" work. The church buildings in the city are well distributed and no section is without representatives of several denominations. Church Attendance in New York. Below will be found a table of church attendance in New York City from a census made by the Church News Association. On the first three Sundays of November, 1902, an actual count was made by agents of the Church News Association of the attendance at all the churches of the principal religious denominations in the city, and an average was taken. The figures show some interesting facts. The total average church attendance for the first three Sundays in November was 451,731 adults, children not being counted. This means that about one in every three residents of Manhattan attend church on Sunday. About one-third of the number was men. The attendance at the Protestant churches is about the same as that at the Catholic churches, while the proportions in the various Protestant denominations are nearly the same. In only one denomination-the Congregational-did the men exceed the women. These figures were obtained by actual count, generally without the knowledge of the pastor or congregation. Under morning attendance are included all services, held before 12 o'clock noon, and evening attendance includes all held after noon. It is intended to make systematic counts of this nature from year to year. in order that comparative tables may be obtained by means of which some idea of increase or decrease of church attendance may be obtained. |
