This chapter tells the story of how J. Howard Pew and a band of conservative activists attempted to infiltrate the National Council of Churches with the aim of undermining religious support for the welfare state. As with many odd pairings, financial considerations helped bring the parties together. The courtship began when the NCC’s architects hatched the idea of a National Lay Committee—a body of prominent laymen and women that would help the Council keep its finger on the pulse of lay opinion while also boosting the Council’s budget. From Pew’s perspective, the Lay Committee offered a potential backdoor into the citadel of the Social Gospel. The NCC needed money, and he was willing and able to supply it. In return, he asked only that the Council cease issuing pronouncements in favor of government aid to the less fortunate and instead transform itself into a champion of the free-enterprise system. The plan sounded simple enough on paper, yet it ultimately failed to accomplish its principal objective of prompting the NCC to abandon its commitment to a robust social welfare state. And, perhaps surprisingly, it was a group of prominent business leaders, not the alleged communists in the ranks of the clergy, who led the opposition to Pew’s short-lived Lay Committee.
本章讲述了j·霍华德·皮尤和一群保守派活动家如何试图渗透到全国教会委员会,目的是破坏宗教对福利国家的支持。与许多奇怪的配对一样,经济方面的考虑帮助双方走到了一起。当NCC的缔造者们酝酿了一个由杰出的非专业人士组成的全国非专业人士委员会的想法时,这种求爱就开始了。这个委员会将帮助委员会掌握非专业人士的意见,同时也会增加委员会的预算。从皮尤的角度来看,俗人委员会为进入社会福音的堡垒提供了一个潜在的后门。全国军事委员会需要资金,而他愿意也有能力提供资金。作为回报,他只要求委员会停止发表支持政府援助穷人的声明,转而将自己转变为自由企业制度的拥护者。这个计划在纸面上听起来很简单,但它最终未能实现促使NCC放弃建立一个健全的社会福利国家的承诺的主要目标。也许令人惊讶的是,是一群杰出的商业领袖,而不是神职人员中所谓的共产主义者,领导了对皮尤短暂成立的世俗委员会的反对。

The Brief Reign of Whirl 短暂的旋风统治

This chapter examines how Protestant elites responded to the political and cultural turmoil of the 1920s. It argues that while the failure of prohibition and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan shattered Protestantism’s sense of unity, the mainline churches nonetheless emerged from the decade with their core ideals and institutions intact. The 1920s also witnessed the birth of several new ecumenical initiatives, including an extensive network of state and local church councils, that worked to direct believers’ energies toward urgent social problems. The church councils, in particular, would later play an important role in building support for New Deal-era economic programs and postwar civil rights reforms.
本章考察新教精英如何应对20世纪20年代的政治和文化动荡。它认为,虽然禁酒的失败和三k党的崛起粉碎了新教的团结意识,但主流教会在这十年中仍然保持着其核心理想和制度的完整。20世纪20年代还出现了几项新的普世主义倡议,其中包括一个由州和地方教会委员会组成的广泛网络,它致力于引导信徒的精力解决紧迫的社会问题。特别是教会理事会,后来在争取对新政时期经济计划和战后民权改革的支持方面发挥了重要作用。

The Churches Do Their Part 教会尽其所能

This chapter shows how mainline Protestant religious leaders, often working in conjunction with Jewish and Catholic groups, were instrumental in building popular support for New Deal programs including unemployment insurance, the National Recovery Administration, and the Wagner Act. It shows that Protestant elites offered the Roosevelt administration a variety of tangible forms of assistance—from local educational sessions to letter-writing campaigns to “NRA Sundays”—that went well beyond their public expressions of support. Arguably the churches’ greatest contribution to the construction of the New Deal-era welfare state, however, was to serve as a bulwark against attacks from a growing cadre of proto-libertarian entities on the far right. So long as most Protestants attended mainline churches, and so long as mainline leaders were monolithic in their support of social welfare programs, claims that there was something un-American about redirecting resources to aid the downtrodden remained an exceedingly tough sell.
本章展示了主流新教宗教领袖如何与犹太和天主教团体合作,在为包括失业保险、国家复兴管理局和瓦格纳法案在内的新政项目争取民众支持方面发挥了重要作用。它表明,新教精英们向罗斯福政府提供了各种有形形式的援助——从地方教育会议到写信运动,再到“全国步枪协会星期日”——远远超出了他们公开表达的支持。然而,可以说,教会对新政时代福利国家建设的最大贡献,是充当了抵御来自日益壮大的极右翼原始自由主义实体的攻击的堡垒。只要大多数新教徒参加主流教会,只要主流领袖一致支持社会福利计划,就很难让人相信,重新分配资源帮助受压抑者是不符合美国精神的。

The Battle for the Clergy 神职人员之战
Pub Date : 2020-06-18 DOI: 10.1093/oso/9780190069186.003.0005

Covering the period from 1945 to 1960, this chapter examines a series of clergy education initiatives that attempted to build support for libertarian economic ideas. Launched by conservative activists and organizations, these programs sought to undermine clerical support for the New Deal–era welfare state, but they mostly ended in failure. With financial support from the wealthy oil executive J. Howard Pew, organizations like Spiritual Mobilization and the Christian Freedom Foundation spread the gospel of free enterprise using newsletters, radio broadcasts, and sermon contests. But polls funded by Pew himself found they had little impact on the political or economic views of rank-and-file ministers. The National Association of Manufacturers’ (NAM) clergy-industry program was marginally more successful, though its organizers were similarly disappointed at their inability to stoke clerical opposition to the New Deal/Fair Deal agenda. The chapter concludes with a series of observations on why Christian Libertarianism gained little traction with either ministers or lay people during the 1950s.
从1945年到1960年,本章考察了一系列试图为自由主义经济思想建立支持的神职人员教育倡议。这些项目是由保守派活动人士和组织发起的,旨在削弱神职人员对新政时代福利国家的支持,但它们大多以失败告终。在富有的石油执行官j·霍华德·皮尤的财政支持下,像“精神动员”和“基督教自由基金会”这样的组织通过通讯、广播和布道比赛来传播自由企业的福音。但皮尤自己资助的民意调查发现,他们对普通部长的政治或经济观点几乎没有影响。全国制造商协会(NAM)的神职人员行业计划稍微成功一些,尽管其组织者同样对未能激起神职人员对新政/公平交易议程的反对感到失望。这一章以一系列关于为什么基督教自由意志主义在20世纪50年代很少受到牧师或非专业人士的关注的观察结束。

The Road to Armageddon 通往世界末日之路
Pub Date : 2020-06-18 DOI: 10.1093/oso/9780190069186.003.0002

This chapter examines the social and theological underpinnings of the large Protestant membership groups that helped build support for major Progressive Era reforms, including child labor restrictions, maternal health programs, and prohibition. It argues that the three factors were particularly important in motivating progressive religious activism in the early twentieth century. The first was the revival of a strand of Protestant social thought that stretched back to the Puritans—a prophetic tradition built on the interconnected ideas of stewardship, providential duty, and collective accountability for sin. The second was the sect dynamic observed by the sociologist Max Weber during his early twentieth-century visit to the United States—a social dynamic that incentivized upwardly mobile citizens to seek membership in Protestant churches and membership groups while also endowing church and group leaders with considerable influence over the beliefs and behaviors of their members. The third was the rise of an ecumenical infrastructure that promoted cooperation between elite reformers and average citizens, and also between believers of different social and denominational backgrounds.
本章考察了大型新教成员团体的社会和神学基础,这些团体帮助建立了对进步时代主要改革的支持,包括童工限制,孕产妇健康计划和禁令。它认为,在二十世纪早期,这三个因素在推动进步的宗教激进主义方面尤为重要。首先是一股新教社会思想的复兴,这种思想可以追溯到清教徒时期——一种建立在管理、天意责任和对罪恶的集体责任等相互关联的思想之上的预言传统。第二种是社会学家马克斯·韦伯在20世纪初访问美国时观察到的教派动态——一种社会动态,激励向上流动的公民寻求新教教会和成员团体的成员,同时也赋予教会和团体领袖对其成员的信仰和行为具有相当大的影响力。第三是大公基础设施的兴起,促进了精英改革者与普通公民之间的合作,以及不同社会和宗派背景的信徒之间的合作。

Conclusion 结论

Many present-day Protestant congregations are deeply involved in humanitarian projects—from feeding the homeless to promoting interracial and interfaith understanding. Yet when it comes to political behavior, white evangelicals remain overwhelmingly opposed to programs that benefit the less fortunate, or that run counter to the free market ethos of the modern Republican party. During the first two decades of the twenty-first century, a trio of failed reform campaigns by evangliecal elites—targeting climate change, foreign aid, and immigration, respectively—underscored the fragile nature of evangelical religious authority. In contrast to their postwar predecessors in the Protestant mainline, evangelical elites possess neither the intrinsic religious authority nor the institutional resources necessary to shape the political convictions of their followers. Instead, they serve at the pleasure of the rank and file.
如今,许多新教会众都深深参与到人道主义项目中——从为无家可归者提供食物到促进不同种族和不同信仰之间的理解。然而,当涉及到政治行为时,白人福音派仍然压倒性地反对那些惠及穷人的项目,或者那些与现代共和党的自由市场精神背道而驰的项目。在二十一世纪的头二十年里,福音派精英们分别针对气候变化、对外援助和移民问题发起了三场失败的改革运动,突显了福音派宗教权威的脆弱本质。与战后新教主流的前辈相比,福音派精英既没有内在的宗教权威,也没有必要的制度资源来塑造其追随者的政治信念。相反,他们为普通民众服务。

Why the Prophetic Torch Wasn’t Passed 为什么预言的火炬没有被传递

This chapter examines the fate of liberal and moderate evangelicals from the mid-1970s through the mid-1980s. It argues that moderate evangelicals—an ascendant force in the 1970s—were marginalized less by the rise of so-called “values” issues than by economic anxieties and a broader white reaction against federal civil rights initiatives. That white evangelicals drifted to the political Right for essentially secular reasons—and often in the face of counterpressures from prominent evangelical leaders and institutions—provides further confirmation of religion’s limited ability to shape political behavior in an age of religious autonomy. In short, it is the weakness of evangelical institutions, not their strength, that best explains why the term “conservative evangelical” has come to seem redundant.
本章考察了从20世纪70年代中期到80年代中期自由派和温和派福音派的命运。它认为,温和的福音派——20世纪70年代的一股崛起力量——被边缘化的原因与其说是所谓“价值观”问题的兴起,不如说是经济焦虑和更广泛的白人对联邦民权倡议的反应。白人福音派教徒因为世俗的原因而转向政治右翼,而且经常面临着来自著名福音派领袖和机构的反压力,这进一步证实了宗教在宗教自治时代塑造政治行为的能力有限。简而言之,正是福音派机构的弱点,而不是他们的优势,最好地解释了为什么“保守福音派”这个词变得多余。

The Last Hurrah 最后的欢呼

This chapter examines the role of mainline Protestant religious leaders in building support for the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Using both archival evidence and public opinion data, it argues that church-based educational campaigns played an important role in the law’s passage. Although the general arc of the story will be familiar from prior histories of the Civil Rights Act, the focus here is on religious authority and its role in shaping the views and actions of average believers. With that in mind, the chapter concludes with a section in which data from the 1964 American National Election Study (ANES) is used to test whether church involvement affected white Protestants’ views concerning the Civil Rights Act. The public opinion data confirm the picture that emerges from the archival record—namely, that the churches’ educational efforts were, in fact, a critical factor in building northern white support for a meaningful civil rights bill.
本章考察了主流新教宗教领袖在争取对1964年民权法案的支持方面所起的作用。它利用档案证据和民意数据,认为以教会为基础的教育运动在该法律的通过中发挥了重要作用。虽然这个故事的大致脉络与民权法案之前的历史很相似,但这里的重点是宗教权威及其在塑造普通信徒的观点和行为方面的作用。考虑到这一点,本章最后用1964年美国全国选举研究(ANES)的数据来测试教会参与是否影响白人新教徒对民权法案的看法。公众舆论数据证实了档案记录中出现的情况,即教会的教育努力实际上是争取北方白人支持有意义的民权法案的关键因素。

Inventing the Old-Time Religion 发明旧时代的宗教

This chapter examines the founding and rise to prominence of Christianity Today, the most important religious magazine of the 1960s and 1970s. It details the magazine’s founding by the revivalist Billy Graham and his father-in-law L. Nelson Bell, both of whom envisioned a periodical that would target ministers with a mix of theological content and conservative political commentary. With financial backing from J. Howard Pew and long list of conservative businessmen, the magazine soon outpaced its liberal rivals; and under the editorial guidance of Carl Henry, a noted theologian, it developed a novel critique of mainline religious authority that may well have exacerbated the divide between mainline elites and average churchgoers. Yet Henry’s insistence that evangelicals were obligated take notice of social problems such as racial discrimination ultimately created an inbridgable rift between the magazine’s editor and its financial backers, and in 1967 Henry was forced to relinquish his post.
本章考察了《今日基督教》的创立和崛起,这是20世纪60年代和70年代最重要的宗教杂志。书中详细介绍了该杂志由复兴派牧师葛培理(Billy Graham)和他的岳父l·纳尔逊·贝尔(L. Nelson Bell)创办,两人都设想创办一份针对牧师的期刊,内容既有神学内容,也有保守的政治评论。在j·霍华德·皮尤(J. Howard Pew)和一长串保守派商人的资金支持下,该杂志很快超越了自由派对手;在著名神学家卡尔·亨利(Carl Henry)的编辑指导下,它对主流宗教权威提出了一种新颖的批评,这种批评很可能加剧了主流精英和普通信徒之间的分歧。然而,亨利坚持认为福音派教徒有义务关注种族歧视等社会问题,最终在杂志编辑和其财务支持者之间造成了不可弥合的裂痕,1967年亨利被迫辞去了他的职位。

Yet Henry’s insistence that evangelicals were obligated take notice of social problems such as racial discrimination ultimately created an inbridgable rift between the magazine’s editor and its financial backers, and in 1967 Henry was forced to relinquish his post.","PeriodicalId":158837,"journal":{"name":"The End of Empathy","volume":"215 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132734888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This chapter examines some of the forces that led to the decline of mainline Protestant religious authority in the 1960s and 1970s. In addition, it argues that the waning of religious authority during these decades liberated upwardly mobile white Americans to follow their own inclinations and interests, not only in their personal lives but also in their thinking about politics and society. And it was at precisely this point that many of them developed a sudden affinity for the extreme libertarian view that the use of state power to correct systemic injustice or redirect resources to the less fortunate was fundamentally illegitimate. The chapter concludes with an account of mainline Protestant leaders’ failed campaign to defeat Proposition 14, a 1964 ballot measure that repealed California’s fair housing law.
本章考察了导致20世纪60年代和70年代主流新教宗教权威衰落的一些力量。此外,它还认为,在这几十年里,宗教权威的衰落解放了向上流动的美国白人,使他们不仅在个人生活中,而且在对政治和社会的思考中,都能遵循自己的倾向和兴趣。正是在这一点上,他们中的许多人突然对极端自由主义观点产生了兴趣,认为使用国家权力来纠正系统性的不公正或将资源重新分配给不幸的人从根本上说是不合法的。这一章以主流新教领袖失败的14号提案(1964年的一项废除加州公平住房法的投票措施)作为结束。
