CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOUR SOCIETIES

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 279 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHR-CLI
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOUR SOCIETIES , organizations formed for the purpose of promoting spiritual life among
young
  people. They date from 1881, in which year Dr Francis E.
Clark
  (q.v.) formed a
Young
  People's Society of Christian Endeavour in his (Congregational) church at
Portland
 , Maine, U.S.A. The idea was taken up elsewhere in America and spread to other countries, till, under the presidency of Dr
Clark
 , a huge number of affiliated societies came into operation throughout the world. They take as their motto " For Christ and the Church," and have done much, especially in the non-episcopal churches, to prepare young men and women for active services in the Church. The organization is international and interdenominational, a World's Christian Endeavour Unionbeing formed in 1895. The members do not form a
separate
  denomination, but remain attached to their respective churches, being grouped in voluntary
district
  federations.
