Présentation de l'éditeur
The Church and the Community is an introduction to the study of the local church in its relation to other community institutions, forces, and agencies. The emphasis is upon these social relations even more than upon specific activities or acts of service in which the Church may engage in the Community. The fact that little or no mention is made of worship, religious education, and personal evangelism does not imply that the author holds them in proportionate significance. These functions of the Church sministry are of prime importance. The local church, however, is also an organized group in the community. It holds property, receives and pays out large amounts of money, and commands the paid and volunteer service of hosts of people. This organized life is often so effective that many church members feel the unusual influence of the group in the community. Christians are only beginning to realize the mighty force which lies inherent in these local churches, separately and in cooperative groups. The Church has proved so worthily its power to cultivate its membership as a field for moral and spiritual growth, that it gives confidence and hope that it will be aroused speedily to an appreciation not only of its latent power as a social force, but also of the right and duty of leadership in community affairs.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
