New Churches For Old: A Plea For Community Religion (1922)

""New Churches For Old: A Plea For Community Religion"" by John Haynes Holmes, published in 1922, is a book that argues for a new approach to religion in the modern world. The author believes that traditional churches and religious institutions are no longer relevant to contemporary society, and that a new form of community-based religion is needed to address the spiritual needs of people today.Holmes argues that the old churches are too focused on dogma and ritual, and have lost touch with the real needs of people. He calls for a new kind of religious community that is based on shared values and a commitment to social justice. He believes that this new community religion should be inclusive and welcoming to all, regardless of their background or beliefs.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides a critique of traditional religion and explains why it is no longer adequate for the modern world. The second part outlines the principles of community religion and describes how it can be put into practice. The final part of the book addresses some of the practical challenges of creating a new form of religion, such as finding a suitable location and organizing the community.Overall, ""New Churches For Old"" is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to think differently about religion and spirituality. It offers a vision of a more inclusive and socially engaged form of religion that could be relevant to people today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
