Excerpt from Christian Life in the CommunityLeadership, the management of and participation in great movements, and the kind of service that touches roots and causes, appeal to men and women today. It is significant that no one can make a study of the Church, such as is here presented, without being impressed over and over again that such work, more than anything else, characterizes the essential nature of the Church's life at the present time.This course seeks to enlist men and women in that noble fellowship of service. The call is urgent. Those with the spirit of the Crusaders will not fail to respond.Under the "Suggestions for Study, Investigation, and Practice Work" a Scripture reference is always placed first. These passages are not cited as proof texts. But our inspiration to service comes largely through the Bible, and the suitability of these passages as a background for our thinking will, it is hoped, be apparent.Suggestions to students throughout the course ought to be followed conscientiously. Not one of them has been made except under the conviction that it would be of real help. The aim is to arouse personal interest and induce independent thought and investigation. The study will have failed of its purpose if the students do not get into closer personal touch with the local conditions affecting human welfare and develop a more sympathetic understanding of others.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
