Some members and others connected to the church create a \&ldquo;Settlement\&rdquo; in a working-class area that provides housing, classes for children through adults, recreation, entertainment, and so forth. The Settlement is connected to a university and students living in it. Unusual in that denominations are rejected, taxing church property is proposed, and missionaries to the cities in the area are preferred over sending people on foreign missions.<o:p></o:p></p>},
