This quote is by William Rauschenbusch, a leader of the Social Gospel Movement. For how can we actively love others without serving their needs by our abilities? A divinely ordered community ,therefore, would offer to all the opportunities of education and enjoyment, and expect from all their contribution of labor. How did the ideas of the Social Gospel Movement impact progressive reform in the United States? It promoted the idea that reform was the sole responsibility of the government. It discouraged reform by promoting the idea that people deserved their positions in life. It absolved people of offering help to anyone who was a sinner or did not believe in God. It encouraged people to take care of the less fortunate as part of their religious duty.
