7^" ^-g^2^ ^U^t^C AN EXPERIMENT IN "SATURATION ''h/ANGELISM" by Franklin K* Littell* In the week of September 30-0ctober 4 there took place iseddra one 06 the most remarteble projects in mass evangelism to be held in America in many decades. The area in which a large complex of programs occured numbers c. 60 000 population, and included, both banks of the Missouri River at Far^o, Worth Dakota and Moorhead, Minnesota, The name of the week of "saturation evangelism11 was Religion-in-Life Week, and the effort bore some resemblance to the multiple approach which we in America have 0 to associate with a good campus program of that name. It might be said that the extraordinary richness of events - movies, VI and radio programs, lectures, discussions, newspaper articles, plays, musicals * did resemble a Religion-in-Life Meek - but this time aimed at a metropolitan area rather than a campus community* Another source of inspiration was the Kirchentag;. the great laymenfs rally which has since 1949 developed a similar style of "saturation evangelism1* in regular events in Germany, Although the Kirchentag has attracted attention in good part' because of the vast congregations which attend its final sessions (from 250 000 to 675 000 in a single worship service), as a matter of fact its main emphasis too is on a wide variety of programs in the week proceeding the mass demonstration. Both the American Religion-in-Life Week and the Kirchentag have derived inspiration and encouragement- from the remarkable Kjrchliche Woche developed by German Protestants in the years before the rise of Hitler temporarily cut short any mass effort of the Churc h,to reached the untouched masses of the great cities.
