After reading March Book One pages 62-122 I now know a bit more details about what really went on during the time of Martin Luther King Jr, John Lewis, and Thurgood Marshall. Social Gospel was a social movement within Protestantism. In my opinion Social Gospel is the use of Christian principles to social problems. An example of the impact of Social Gospel can be the change to labour reforms of the 1930s where child labour, shorter work weeks, and factory regulation issues were resolved. These were just a few of the peoples concerns. Social Gospel relates to Book One of March because of the social injustice, economic inequality, and poverty. In March Book One it explains how John Lewis couldn’t stop thinking about the Social Gospel where he took the path of non-violence to make a change for not just personal reform but for social reform. My definition of Social Gospel relates to my life when my mother uses her faith in Christ for strength to help her through the rough times. Another example can be my father using the word of God to calm his mind and soul to keep his social issues in line. Social Gospel relates to the world we live in now how people pray and protest under Christianity for changes in women’s right, changes in police brutality, or even stopping the spread of hate by loving Jesus. I feel as though I am literate in Social Gospel but I don’t necessarily apply it to my everyday life. This is honestly just from growing up and only being shown Christianity so when I was able to make my own opinions on religion I felt different than most Christians. In my opinion Social Gospel can be have many different meanings it just depends on the individuals perception. #themarathoncontinues
