Overview
The Church of England and Social Reform Since 1854 is a comprehensive study of the role that the Church of England has played in social reform over the past century and a half. Written by Donald Owen Wagner, this book provides a detailed analysis of the Church's involvement in a range of social issues, including poverty, education, healthcare, and the rights of women and minorities. The book begins with an overview of the Church's historical role in social reform, tracing its roots back to the 19th century when the Church played a leading role in the establishment of the welfare state. Wagner then goes on to explore the Church's response to key social issues of the 20th century, including the rise of socialism, the two world wars, and the civil rights movement. Throughout the book, Wagner examines the tensions and conflicts that have arisen within the Church over social reform, particularly between the more conservative and progressive factions. He also highlights the contributions of individual leaders and activists who have played a key role in shaping the Church's approach to social reform. Overall, The Church of England and Social Reform Since 1854 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of social reform in Britain and the role that the Church has played in this process. It provides a nuanced and insightful analysis of the Church's complex relationship with social issues, and sheds light on the ongoing debates and challenges facing the Church in the present day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
