Excerpt from University and Social Settlements One very important point remains to be noticed. There is no article dealing with the religious aspect of Settlements. This is not at all because there is no religion in Settlements, or that none of them do religious work. On the contrary, a glance at the Settlement Directory will show that a very large proportion set out with this as their central aim. It' is rather because, as a second glance over the same section will Show, it would have been impossible to do justice to the subject. For these Settlements have been founded not only by Anglicans, Roman Catholics, Wesleyans, Congregationalists, Friends, and other religious bodies, but also by those who object to the association of any form of distinctively religious work with Settlement activity. It is obvious that there are very few indeed who could handle the subject with authority and ability, and at the same time fairly represent all the differing elements. At any rate, no one was available. Still, in an account of what Settlements actually are, it ought, merely as a matter of fact, to be clearly stated that in a good number of them, and these by no means the least influential, the religious aim is the central one, round which the others find their places; or perhaps I should better express the minds of those concerned if I said that it was that which inspires all the rest. As to the particular form which this religious activity takes in each Settlement, and the nature and quality of the results, no one may judge the other, To his own Master he standeth or falleth. Nor is it possible to judge from the outside, by religious statistics or inspectional visits, as to the spirituality of Settlement work. One thing is happily certain; within the Settlements and between the Settlements there is no religious strife. If any such unhappily arise, it will come from the outside, from those who are more ready at criticism and judgment than at lending a hand. The aim of the Settle ment itself is not strife, but helpfulness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
