The Country Church and the Rural Problem: The Carew Lectures at Hartford Theological Seminary (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Sinossi
Excerpt from The Country Church and the Rural Problem: The Carew Lectures at Hartford Theological Seminary
We come then to the principle that the church is vital to the solution of the rural problem, be cause the things the church stands for are vital to a permanent rural civilization. Church and industry are intimately bound together. The rural church cannot thrive for long unless the agricultural business thrives. But on even higher grounds we see that the same principle applies. The church is but a means to an end. It is a servant of human welfare. In so far as business prosperity, education, social life make for human welfare, just so far are they allies of the church.
The crisis in the country church consists in the question, Has it the power to meet the new demand, so utterly different from the old in many essential phases, although the same in respect to the abiding needs of the human heart?
It is the conviction of these fundamental ideas, namely, the unity of the rural problem, the absolute necessity of utilizing the church in solving the rural problem, and the need of a new point of view on the part of the church if it is to do its part in solving the problem, that has led to the present volume. It is hoped that it may be an encouragement to pastors already in the rural field and an incentive to virile young men who love a hard but great task, and indeed may be of interest to public spirited and thoughtful laymen in the rural churches.
