Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Pioneering in Modern City Missions' explores the transformative work of Edgar James Helms, a visionary leader in urban social reform and the foundational figure of the Goodwill movement. Set against the backdrop of late 19th and early 20th-century Boston, this work chronicles the development of the Morgan Memorial and its innovative approach to ministry among the urban poor. Unlike traditional charity models of the era, the mission described here emphasized dignity, self-help, and industrial training, famously advocating for 'not charity, but a chance.'The text provides a detailed account of the challenges and triumphs of city missionary work, outlining the various social enterprises, educational programs, and spiritual outreach initiatives designed to uplift marginalized communities. Through personal narratives and historical context, Helms illustrates the intersection of Christian faith and practical social action. This book serves as a foundational document for understanding the history of social work, the Social Gospel movement, and the evolution of modern vocational rehabilitation.
