North Side Cooperative Ministry.

The North Side Cooperative Ministry, formally organized in 1963, was a non-profit cooperative ministry composed of eight Protestant denominations concerned with such issues as racial discrimination in housing, day care facilities, mental health services, neighborhood public schools, and the Vietnam anti-war movement. The ministry focused on renewing the work of the church through the mobilization of its clergy, laity, and other concerned people in response to the needs of the Near North, Lincoln Park, Lakeview, and North Central communities on Chicago's North Side. The Ministry disbanded in 1972.
