Preferred term

social gospel movement  

Definition(s)

  • The social gospel movement, usually associated with liberal Protestantism during the late 19th and early 20th centuries in North America and Europe, converged with progressive adult education and community leadership as the means for reshaping society into the democratic, Kingdom of God on earth through the development of people. Adult educators Eduard Lindeman and Roby Kidd make linkages that tie the social gospel to other social movements of the Progressive era—civil rights for former slaves, women's suffrage, settlement houses, the Chautauqua movement, temperance, and the cooperative movement.
