PAUL DOUGLASS WITH ILLUSTRATIONS AND CHARTS NEW SJr YORK GEORGE H. DORAN COMPANY INTRODUCTION THE SURVEY AND THE CITY SURVEY MOTIVE The basic reason for a survey of any city is the difficulty which practical men find in determining what is wise and right amid the confusions of so vast and complicated a phenomenon of civilization. This difficulty includes the church. The churches of St. Louis have long been aware of it. This Survey is primarily the result of their attempt to meet and conquer it. 1 The church has long been acutely conscious of its urban problem, has spoken much of it in general terms, has defined some of its typical problems those for example of the foreigner, of the down town section, of transient population, and of the rural emigrant has had many heart-searchings on the desertion of the most needy population by Protestantism, and has ended with something of the sense of awe and bafflement which beset the rurally-minded Hebrew prophet, Jonah That great city who is sufficient for it and how shall the church learn to serve and to master it at once Here and there, to be sure, exist shining examples of con spicuously successful city churches. But no one knows how to transfer the secret of their success to other situations. The analysis of the situation into its permanent elements is incomplete. The science of city churchmanship does not exist. Very little indeed is at hand constituting a dependable basis for action, very little that shows how to make a local church program which shall be funda mental rather than temporary or imitative which shall grow out of an understanding of urban people and situations and not depend upon the fluctuation and risks of personal insight. Yet in the city of St. Louis alone there are nearly four hundred Protestant churches continuously engaged in making decisions. Their pastors plan, their boards of deacons and trustees confer, their congregations debate and finally vote. These discussions involve a wide range of problems, and the decisions ought to be made only in the light of well-ascertained facts. 1 For a hiitoricml narrative of the Survey in detail tee Appendix, Section 1. V vi INTRODUCTION Shall a church be organized Where shall it build and what sort of a building shall it have What types of service shall it attempt When once established what changes of program will it need to consider How shall it secure funds Ought it perhaps to move How should it cooperate with its neighboring churches and in what specific place ought it serve the community These are not academic problems but simply the types of specific issues that are always coming up. Almost all of them involve decisions in the denominational realm as well as within that of the local congregation. Denomina tional policy has to decide when there shall be another church where it shall be located how it should get its building where the funds are to come from how it should be related to the other churches of the same community and what effect a given major policy or critical decision, such as that of removing a church, will have upon the fortunes of the ecclesiastical group. National denominational policies are involved, both on the finan cial side and in regard to strategy, because cities are centers in which church work is keenly watched by national leaders. At the same time the other constructive forces of the city the several denominations as cooperators or competitors, the social agencies doing work which lies near to that of the church all of these and the welfare of them all are involved, implicitly or ex plicitly, in the decision of these manifold practical issues. Finally, as the church in its great divisions, Catholic, Protestant and Hebrew, seeks to relate itself to the total life of humanity, the major decisions of churchmanship touch and are sometimes merged with the great constructive purposes of the city as a whole...

Download or read book The St Louis Irish written by William Barnaby Faherty and published by Missouri History Museum. This book was released on 2001 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A French-founded frontier village that transformed into a booming nineteenth-century industrial mecca dominated by Germans, the city of St. Louis nonetheless resounds from the influence of Irish immigrants. Both the history and the maps of the city are dotted with the enduring legacies of familiar celts--John Mullanphy, John O'Fallon, Cardinal John J. Glennon--but the true marks of the Irish in St. Louis were made by the common immigrants--those who fled their homeland to settle in the Kerry Patch on St. Louis's near north side--and their battle to maintain cultural, ethnographic, and religious roots. Popular local historian William Barnaby Faherty, S.J., offers readers a look into the history and effects of the Irish immigration to St. Louis. The author can now be placed within a rich Irish heritage in the world of publishing: Joseph Charless, editor of the first newspaper west of the Mississippi, the Missouri Gazette; William Marion Reedy, editor of the Mirror and nineteenth-century literary mogul; Joseph McCullagh, editor of the Globe-Democrat in the late nineteenth century; and controversial author Kate (O'Flaherty) Chopin. The Irish in St. Louis is an enticing ethnographic history of one nationality clinging to its roots in a melting- pot American city. Both visitor and native St. Louisian, Irish or not, will relish this history of one of St. Louis's most enduring communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Church and Estate, Thomas Rzeznik examines the lives and religious commitments of the Philadelphia elite during the period of industrial prosperity that extended from the late nineteenth century through the 1920s. The book demonstrates how their religious beliefs informed their actions and shaped their class identity, while simultaneously revealing the ways in which financial influences shaped the character of American religious life. In tracing those connections, it shows how religion and wealth shared a fruitful, yet ultimately tenuous, relationship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before Church and State: A Study of Social Order in the Sacramental Kingdom of St. Louis IX explores the "problem of Church and State" in thirteenth century France by taking a detailed look at the lives of two men, Gui Foucois (Pope Clement IV) and Louis IX and the institutions they helped build. It argues that the "problem" of Church and State did not exist in the thirteenth century. The spiritual and temporal powers existed, to be sure, but these were not parallel structures attempting to govern the same social space in a contest over sovereignty. Rather, the spiritual and the temporal powers were wrapped up together in a differentiated and sacramental world, and both included the other as aspects of their very identity. "Government" happened through networks of consilium et auxilium that cut across lay/clerical lines. These networks necessarily included both spiritual and temporal powers. During the reign of Louis IX the king's network expanded to encompass the majority of the social space. This network had integral to it both the papal "fullness of power" and the royal "fullness of power" without any contradiction. The book reconstructs how such government actually happened and not simply the arguments that intellectuals had about how it ought to happen. This reconstruction is, furthermore, presented as a response to how modern historians and scholars of politics often suppose government to have happened. The book is, therefore, directly aimed at engaging and challenging the consensus of contemporary scholarship. What is more, it brings contemporary thought concerning the definition of "religion," "secular," and "politics" into the study of the Middle Ages, something that is long overdue. Up to this point, scholars interested in challenging modern conceptions of "religion" have, when treating the Middle Ages, had to rely largely on historical scholarship written from within the conventional paradigm. This book aims to provide these scholars with a methodologically and technically rigorous alternative. If the book's thesis is widely accepted, it will call for the reconsideration of the accepted narrative of medieval Church and State.
