Christianity and True Democracy

with contributions from P. B. Schaffner, Merrill R. Abbey, Herbert Barnes, Edward L. R. Elson, Archer Wallace

The Rev. P. B. Schaffner
Beacon-Journal, Akron, Ohio

Frank Gervasi, world traveler, writer and lecturer on international affairs, in speaking recently before an Akron audience, defined democracy as a "political application of Christianity." This is a clear and significant statement in our times when we seek to bring peace out of social, economic, political ... chaos.

We firmly believe in democracy. We believe as ardently in Christianity. We believe that the greatest ultimate good for our whole world will come from its individual and collective application in every realm of life. We also believe that the four freedoms and every other worthy liberty will have a better chance in the Christian democratic atmosphere.
