He meant Christian service. " 35 THE SouL OF CAPITALISM It seems odd to recall now that in the early decades of the twentieth century Christian ministers like Brunner were leading voices in the critique of American capitalism. Their moral outrage was stoked by the vast and visible suffering associated with unregulated capitalism: children working in factories and coal mines while the new plutocrats built fabulous mansions and founded great art museums from their private collections. The reform theologians came to be known as the Social Gospel movement and reached an apogee of influence during the extreme suffering of the Great Depression.
