The Social Dream in Church Teachings Past and Present
At Unity Church yesterday Rev. M J Savage spoke on Social Problems and The Social Dream. He traced a long arc from ancient hopes of a perfect society to modern debates over progress, law, and regulation while arguing that while perfection on earth is unlikely the dream remains a guiding vision. He contrasted ancient ideas with modern science and politics, noting ongoing tension between passive improvement and active reform. He warned that faith in a perfect future must be balanced by awareness of present evils and the necessity of humane steps toward better social conditions.
