| Summary | "Six Thousand Country Churches" by Charles Otis Gill and Gifford Pinchot is a sociological account written in the early 20th century. The work investigates the conditions of rural churches in Ohio and aims to address the challenges they face, focusing on the implications for community life and religious practice. Through data collection and analysis, the authors seek to identify the factors affecting church efficiency and propose solutions for improvement. The opening of the publication introduces the origins of the research, detailing how previous investigations in Vermont and New York led to a broader study across Ohio, guided by the Commission on Church and Country Life. The authors highlight the collaborative effort involving various stakeholders, including church leaders and local communities, to gather comprehensive data on church attendance, ministerial presence, and community engagement. Through this groundwork, they set the stage to confront the stark realities of church life in rural Ohio, suggesting that many country churches are overpopulated and poorly supported, which hinders their growth and effectiveness within the community.
