Synopsis

This book explores the challenges and opportunities facing the church in the evolving modern world. The author argues that the church's central mission is education in its broadest sense: developing individuals and fostering a society built on Christian principles. The book draws on historical and contemporary examples to illustrate how the church has played a vital role in shaping social progress and moral values. The author emphasizes the church's unique ability to provide spiritual guidance, promote social justice, and nurture the growth of individuals as ethical, compassionate members of their communities. Through a nuanced exploration of the nature of education and its moral implications, the book sheds light on the church's enduring relevance in a rapidly changing world. The author concludes that by embracing its educational mission, the church can continue to be a beacon of hope and a force for positive social transformation.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Heckling the Church. It called attention to the fact that every person felt fully qualified to sit in judgment on the church, and to exercise freely his gifts of criticism in this direction. Captious criticism is annoying, but, for the church it is better to be annoyed than to be ignored. If the latter should come to pass the case would be serious indeed. The emphasis of several generations on the primacy of material things has led to the popular assumption that we do not need spiritual institutions. Now we have a renaissance of the spiritual, under the stress of a world agony. But there is a tendency to feel that the spiritual is so implicit in all things that it does not need explicit expression anywhere. Men ask whether a spiritual age needs a special religious institution. Further, various social agencies have taken over many of the activities of the churches. Men are asking whether in the social organization of to-day there remains any special task or place for the church. These are the questions the present-day church must face. They are not essentially hostile questions. They are expressed by persons of serious minds. They rise within the church rather than without. They are not the questionings of an anti-religious spirit.
