Book Description
Excerpt from The Revival of Interest in the Country Church This body of knowledge will be of value as a basis of speeches, articles, books and other publications to be used by our men in supervision of churches. Are you aware that we have only one standard that now prevails, and one pro gramme that is general among all the Protestant churches? That programme is the conversion of the individual soul. That is the only programme the churches have. It must be the first factor in any programme for the country church or for any church, but to be reduced to this one principle alone is to have a weak and disappearing church policy. The Protestantism that consists of mere evangelism is a Protestantism that cannot stand between Mormonism and Catholicism.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Country Church and the Rural Problem: The Carew Lectures at Hartford Theological Seminary The country church faces a crisis. The agriculture of the nineteenth century was individualistic, extensive, even exploitative, and only toward the close of the period developed highly organized commercial aspects. During the present century American agriculture promises to be put upon an intensive and scientific basis, co-operation will begin to supersede individual bargaining, and the welfare of the rural community instead of the profit of the individual farmer will be more and more the point of departure in all discussions and movements for rural betterment. The church, too, as it served the farming classes has been individualistic in its appeal. Its work has been one of extension; it has marched to the frontier with the frontiersman. It has even been exploitative of denominational pride and power. Undeniably it has done a great work. It has saved rural life for moral and spiritual ends.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Country Church in Colonial Countries: As Illustrated by Addison County, Vt;, Tompkins County, N. Y. And Warren County, N. Y All these studies have been made from the point of view of the church, recognizing, however, that social and economic conditions affect its life. For instance, it is evident that various racial groups influence church life differently. Germans and Swedes usually tend toward liturgical denominations; the Scotch to non-liturgical. Again, if there are economic pressure and heavy debt, the church faces spiritual handicaps and needs a peculiar type of ministry. Because of the importance of social and economic factors in the life of the Church the Opening chapters of this book have been given over to a description of these factors. At the first glance some of these facts may appear irrelevant, but upon closer Observation they will be found to have a bearing upon the main theme - the problem of the Church. Naturally the greatest amount of time and study has been de voted to the churches themselves. Their history, equipment and finances; their members, services and church organizations; their Sunday schools, young people's societies and community programs, have all been carefully investigated and evaluated. Intensive investigation has been limited to the distinctively rural areas and to those centers of population which have less than inhabitants. In the case of towns larger than this an effort has been made to measure the service of such towns to the surrounding countryside, but not to study each church and community in detail.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Rural Church: And Community Betterment The best center for teaching the Bible in the country community: IS it Within the church or outside of churches? What are the best courses of Bible study for working farmers? IS the present doctrinal training obsolete? Does the philosophy and theology taught in colleges and seminaries unfit men for rural service by its individualism? By teaching about exceptional instances, mira cles, wonders, heroism and saints, instead of teaching obedience to law, average cases, standards of conduct, typical men, practicable, economical and ethical levels? Is the seminary training for rural pastors unsuited by its traditions, viz., a prayer for rain in a region watered by irrigation? Does social efficiency suffer through the teach ing of sectarian doctrines? What course of seminary training would fit men for rural service? Should the seminary or the agricultural col lege train men for service in the country? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from New Churches for Old: A Plea for Community Religion The program which is outlined in its more imme diate aspects in chapters eight, nine and ten, is based on the principles now being worked out in What is coming to be known today as the community church movement. These principles are used and commended not in any sense as final; indeed, they are interpreted in this book in radical terms which are likely to be acceptable to few, and have been put into practice by none, Of the more than four hun dred community churches already established in this country. This movement is an experiment, an adventure of faith; at the best only a splendid first step away from Protestantism, toward the new democratic religion of the future. As such, how ever, it is the most significant phenomenon in the religious world today, and the inevitable starting point for the discussion of any adequate program Of reform.
