Kenneth Dexter Miller (1887-1968), a Presbyterian minister, was a leader in interdenominational efforts to make churches responsive to urban needs, especially the needs of ethnic minorities. Miller was educated at Princeton University and Union Theological Seminary, and then participated in a study program in Bohemia (1912-1913) to prepare him for work among Czech immigrants in the United States. After his return to the United States, Miller directed the Jan Hus Neighborhood House in New York; worked for the YMCA War Work Council (1917-1919); marched across Siberia with Czech troops during World War I.; worked as part of the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions (1919-1928) assisting Slavic immigrants; traveled in Czechoslovakia and Eastern Europe; and served as Executive Secretary of the Presbytery of Detroit. He was a founding member of the Masaryk Institute of New York (1937); served as head of the New York Mission Society (1939-1955) and was European Director of the American Fund for Czechoslovak Refugees, Inc. until his retirement.)
