"Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" the prophet Amos once asked. So Christians of two races met in Kansas City last September and agreed that togeth er they must reach the world for Christ. Convening under the name "Congress for Evangelism," over five hundred black and white dele gates, coming from a dozen Mid western and Southwestern states and representing many denomina tions, gathered in St. Stephen Bap tist Church on the east bank of the Missouri River. They met as one race having one task, spurred by the thickening clouds of urgency. The immediate focus was on Amer ica's black urban community: how to reach it for Christ.
