Summary "A Statement: On the Future of This Church" by John Haynes Holmes is a reflective sermon published in the early 20th century. The book addresses the evolution and future direction of the Church of the Messiah, highlighting Holmes' vision for a more community-oriented and socially engaged church. It serves as a critical examination of the church's role in a rapidly changing world, particularly in the wake of the Great War, and the need for reform in religious institutions. In this compelling address, Holmes articulates his journey as a Unitarian minister and his growing commitment to social issues, arguing that the church must evolve beyond its denominational roots to serve its community effectively. He discusses the importance of a name that resonates with contemporary ideals and calls for a shift towards a more inclusive and action-oriented church. Holmes ultimately decides to remain with the Church of the Messiah, motivated by the shared commitment to a vision of a unified church that prioritizes social justice and community service, rather than preserving traditional structures bound by outdated beliefs.
