Excerpt from Church Brotherhoods: A Survey of the Practical Activities of the Churchmen's Clubs and BrotherhoodsThe Brotherhood Movement in the modern church is too young to warrant a history. The writer of this book disclaims the historian's intent. But a record of events and a survey of the fast broadening field are timely and pertinent. These will be found within these pages prepared with painstaking care, and presented in form and style worthy of their high import. Only a trained mind can collate contemporary facts with accuracy and fulness. No mere novice is equal to the task of photographing without blur a movement while it is still moving. Mr. Patterson has the powers of observation of an experienced journalist. For a long period his critical study of the church was from a viewpoint outside it - that of the man of the world. Now for many glad years he has given himself with devotion to constructive service as Secretary of the Brotherhood of one of the large denominations. He brings to his task an ample equipment.Zeal in a new enterprise is not unlikely to dull remembrance of past achievement. The striking response which everywhere the Christian conscience is giving to the appeal of social and industrial need may easily obscure for the time the mighty movements for human welfare in earlier crises.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
