Evangelistic Decline in the 1950s-60s?"Apparently, some two thirds of Seventh-day Adventist ministerial leaders, evangelists, and field administrators [in the late 50s] either felt that public evangelism was indeed outmoded, or were not certain about its present utility, or that considering other financial obligations of the denomination, large public campaigns were no longer feasible."
