CHRISTIANITY & SOCIAL PROBLEMS
By what right does the church concern itself with social problems? We answer by right of the plain fact that the whole range of life belongs to God. Nothing human is alien to Him, nor can it be to us. Gone is the day when churchmen would permit themselves to be either shoved unceremoniously or bowed politely out of any area where human values, human relationships and human lives are a stake. Whoever argues otherwise would say, in effect, that a hole in the hull of a sinking ship is the concern of the captain and crew, but not of the passengers. To one who challenges our right to consider problems like those which face us we would say that the Christian faith is prepared to make a contribution to the solution of these problems apart from which they cannot be solved.
