A More Christian Industrial Order: The Christian’s Duty at Work and in Labor
“A Christian community cannot measure its wealth by the profits of its industries or the volume of its trade, but by the richness of the lives of its men, women, and children.”
Disillusionment spread like wildfire after the cataclysmic events of World War I and the Spanish influenza pandemic of 1918–19. The emotional toll was particularly acute amongst workers and laborers, with many unable to find meaning or purpose anymore in their work. It was out of this environment that Henry Sloane Coffin (The Creed of Jesus, University Sermons) penned A More Christian Industrial Order.
