Synopsis

Christian Americanization: A Task For The Churches is a book written by Charles Alvin Brooks and published in 1919. The book discusses the idea of Americanization, which was a popular topic at the time. The author argues that the process of Americanization should be led by the churches, as they have the power to shape the moral and ethical values of society. The book explores the challenges faced by immigrants in adapting to American culture and suggests ways in which the churches can help them. It also discusses the role of education and the importance of teaching American history and values. The book is written from a Christian perspective and emphasizes the need for a strong moral foundation in American society. Overall, Christian Americanization: A Task For The Churches is a thought-provoking book that offers insights into the challenges of assimilation and the role of religion in shaping American culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In accordance with this modern spirit, two agencies which have formerly issued home mission text-books have united this year in publishing one book. These agencies are the Council of Women for Home Missions and the Missionary Education Movement, which, as is well known, represents the interests of the Home Missions Council. The theme of this book is one which is giving great concern to our national government and to all those agencies and people who realize the necessity of quickened effort toward national unity. It is an especially important theme at this time, when America occupies so conspicuous a place in world influence and power, while within her own borders press social problems of largest magnitude. One language, one flag is much but it is not enough for the highest national unity and expression. There must be such an appreciation of and participation in the spirit of America as shall release the largest spiritual values for the betterment of the social order in the United States, create a compelling national conscience capable of making this country fine and strong in self-control, and give it exalted conceptions and standards of human relationships. Only through the contagion of Christian thinking and living can this be accomplished. The church of Christ must assume a dominant place in this effort and address itself definitely with profound earnestness and purpose to this mighty task. It is with these deep convictions concerning the relation of the church to Americanization that Christian Americanization ;J Task for the Churches is sent forth. PUBUCAT iON CoMMITTS
