[The Biblical World]

Christian democracy is a sacrificial rather than an acquisitive democracy. It is marked by the spirit of love, and love endeavors to help others to enjoy the same thing that one enjoys for himself. It would bring about fraternity by leveling people up to those with privileges, rather than by pulling people with privileges down to the level of people without them.

The church that wishes to have a part in the labor movement must preach the spirit of fraternity and concession to its own members. Rightly or wrongly, the Protestant churches have become identified in many people's minds with the capitalist group. Such a classification is open to serious question, but debate of the matter is beside the point.
