Summary: | In the past century, Christian churches have developed a variety of responses to the urban-industrial transformation of U.S. society. Within the PCUSA, Marshal L. Scott played the primary role in helping the church initiate an educational response to this change in the post—World War II era. It was through the agency of the Presbyterian Institute of Industrial Relations, created in 1945, that Scott trained more than 3,000 seminarians and pastors to recognize and understand the society being created by rapid urban-industrial change—and to help the church develop ministries relevant to the human consequences of this transition. This is the story of the work of Marshal L. Scott and the Presbyterian Institute of Industrial Relations. |
