Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from From Survey to Service The study of home missions has often been the study of work done by home mission boards, a transcript of records arranged in orderly fashion showing the work accomplished, the work in process, and the work yet needing to be done. Profitable studies have been provided of special phases of the work among immigrants or race groups, along the frontier or in the cities. Such texts provide for the study of home missions in simplest terms. There are reasons why, in the effort to understand the problem fundamentally, we should have some studies more analytical than these. Such a study was made by the author of this book in his earlier work, The New Home Missions. Since that time the outlook has some what changed: 1. Recent years have amassed a volume of accurate knowledge about our land, its people, and its enterprises. Rich results of such surveys are available, valuable to us in the effort to adapt organized Christianity to the changing situations. 2. The war demonstrated and developed community consciousness and capacity for cooperation, called for emphasis upon essentials in religion, and brought a realization of the existence of a shocking lack of moral quality, indicating its causal relation to lack of religion. 3. Organized Christianity is on trial as it has not been since the closing decades of the eighteenth century and early years of the nineteenth century. All elements of the problem should be studied, and the work of the Church and its mission agencies be appraised.
