Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Practicing Christian Unity To maintain the balance between individual and united action is one of the chief problems for the days of reconstruction. The future development of industry, of commerce, of transportation, of education, of government, of religion, will be strong or weak according to the way in which those who are responsible solve this problem. This is especially true of religion. It is a commonplace of criticism to say that the divisions of the Church lessen its power to serve. The Great War accentuated more than ever before the losses that have come through the inability of the great religious bodies of America to act immediately, unitedly, unreservedly, sacrificially when the world was in need of such vital service. But let us not forget that the liberty of thought and action due to the absence of uniformity of organization and authority made possible the free play of Christian forces in every line of service. This made cooperation between denominations in the War-Time Commission of the Churches formed by the Federal Council cordial and unrestrained. No particular group of individuals had a monopoly of the religious spirit that helped to create the fine, wholesome morale of the American army and navy. During the last two decades the welfare of the community has been the call that has been unifying the forces that have had some responsibility to the community. These forces have rightfully been eager to preserve their own integrity and also eager to be good servants.
