Excerpt from The Church and the Hour: Reflections of a Socialist Churchwoman
Although this little book is entitled Papers by a Socialist Churchwoman, there is no discussion of socialism in it. This is because the author does not feel that the Church at large should be called upon to commit itself to any Ism, or special set of economic doctrines. She does not see, to be candid, how an intelligent Christian can help being a socialist. But that is her narrowness. She is obliged to confess that many devout and able minds do not embrace the creed so dear to her; and she is not concerned in this place with propaganda, but with considering the distinctive work and function of the Church as it is. If she is privately convinced that such action and attitude as this book calls for will lead all communicants ultimately to the socialist position, that is her own affair and might form the subject of another book.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex relationship between the Church and social justice, particularly in the context of the emerging industrial age. The author, a self-described socialist churchwoman, argues that while the Church has traditionally focused on personal piety and individual salvation, a more robust understanding of Christian duty demands active engagement with social issues. The book examines the historical tensions between religious institutions and social movements, highlighting the Churchââ â¢s reluctance to embrace radical change. The author delves into the limitations of individual Christian action in confronting societal problems, arguing instead for collective action. The book offers a critical yet hopeful perspective on the potential for the Church to embrace social change and become a catalyst for a more just and equitable society. Ultimately, this book invites readers to contemplate the role of religion in the face of pressing social concerns and to envision a Church that actively seeks to embody Christian values in the public sphere.
