Social Gospel Groups: Where are they now?

"Now that the idea of social salvation is taking hold of us, the realm of duty spread before a mind dedicating itself to God's service is becoming more inclusive. The social work of the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A., of the Salvation Army and the Volunteers of America, of the social settlements and institutional churches, show what is coming."

Rauschenbush - "Christianity and the Social Crisis" p. 354

So is our country (almost 100 years later) better off? Or worse?
