| Sumario: | "The Labour Church was an organization fundamental to the British socialist movement during the formative years of the Independent Labour Party (ILP) and Labour Party between 1891 and 1914. Founded by the Unitarian minister John Trevor in Manchester in 1891, it grew rapidly thereafter. This book provides an analysis of the Labour Church, its religious doctrine, its socio-political function and its role in the cultural development of the early socialist arm of the labour movement. Jacqueline Turner challenges previously held assumptions that the Labour Church was irreligious and merely a political tool. She provides a new cultural picture of a diverse and inclusive organization, committed to individualism and an individual relationship with God". |
