9781330414163: The Church and the Hour (Classic Reprint): Reflections of a Socialist Churchwoman

Synopsis

A thoughtful defense of faith that acts. The book argues prayer and social justice belong together, not apart.

In these reflections, the heart of Christianity is shown as a force that can shape how communities respond to injustice. It invites readers to see the Church as a partner in social renewal, not a distant observer of society’s needs.



Through conversations about intercession, dogma, and practical action, the author frames a vision where prayer lights the way for reform and reform deepens faith. The result is a call to live out Christian convictions with courage, clarity, and compassion.




  • Intercession as a bridge between inner devotion and outer social action

  • Engaging prayer as a practical tool for justice in daily life

  • Balancing spiritual depth with commitment to social reform

  • Guidance on aligning Catholic faith with contemporary concerns for workers and communities



Ideal for readers seeking a thoughtful, era-spanning look at how a churchwoman’s socialist perspective can illuminate both prayer and public life.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Although this little book is entitled Papers by aS ocialist 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 I sm, 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.
