http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/502031064

Minutes, correspondence, conference materials, reports, pamphlets, and other printed materials documenting the YMCA's religious work. The collection includes administrative records from the YMCA's Religious Work Department as well as material documenting its work and programs, especially Bible study courses. Also included are records of later committees created to address the issue of the role of Christianity in the Y, such as the Committee on Christian Emphasis and the Committee on Christian Concerns and Ecumenical Relations. Much of the material documents the YMCA's relationship with other churches and organizations, particularly the Catholic church, and the World, Federal, and National Councils of Churches.
