...There are no problems that the church ought to stay out of," he said Monday. "There can be no distinction between the sacred and the secular terms of the problems that confront the church today...
Made for Man. China shifted in 1912, and despite its violent antipathy to religion, Red China keeps Sunday as a day of rest. Russia in 1929 undertook the grand secular experiment of staggered days off during an uninterrupted work week, so that one-sixth of the workers were off on any given day.

What Marxism attacked in the past was not Christians' "faith, love, aspirations and hopes," but the church's entanglement with such secular forces as capitalism or monarchical states...
