Excerpt from Religion and Business
Some readers of this book may dislike the indiscriminate way in which the Words "religion," "the Church," and "churches" are used. The result is not very satisfactory to the author himself, but he seems to be unable to improve the text by any changes. Surely the terms are not synonymous and should not be confounded.
The author clearly recognizes that religion is the great, important thing and must be something far nobler and more comprehensive than that which churches practise. He also recognizes that there is much real religion apart from the churches and that many lodges and other organizations are as much dispensers of religion as are the churches themselves.
The very fact that religion is so fundamental and comprehensive makes it difficult to treat. Hence, the author refers to the churches which are concrete. Furthermore, the needed closer relationship between religion and business can surely be strengthened and developed through the vitalization of the churches. Therefore, although the end sought is to develop more religion, yet it is believed that this can be accomplished best by strengthening the churches, which were organized for that purpose.
