Excerpt from The Church at the Center Social service is more than altruism or betterment or uplift, all of which are attempted for personal reasons. And social service is something else than neighborliness. It is help for a society through an organization, such service as a church can render a community. The social value of a church is its usefulness in the community. That church has social value which satisfies the common needs. In our Lord's time "the poor, " "the sinners, " "the lost sheep of the house of Israel, " were the people whose needs were common to all. To them Jesus gave his own help and directed the first attention of organized Christianity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
