Item Description
St. Mark's and the Social Gospel signed by author
St. Mark's and the Social Gospel begins by examining the period between 1895 and World War I, chronicling the center's development from its early beginnings as a settlement house that served immigrants and documenting the early social gospels activities of Methodist women in New Orleans.
Part II explores the efforts of subsequent generations of women to further gender and racial equality between the 1920s and 1960.
Major topics addressed in this section include an examination of the deaconesses' training in Christian Socialist economic theory and the church's response to Brown decision. The third part focuses on the church's direct involvement in the school's desegregation crisis of 1960, including an account of the pastor who broke the white boycott of a desegregated elementary school by taking his daughter back to class there.
Part IV offers a brief look at the history of St. Mark's since 1965.
