Charles Gore

Originally published in 1984, this book discusses the rapid growth of regional development planning, as both an academic specialism and a focus of policy and practice. Books and articles on the subject have proliferated, and all across the Third World governments have become commited to it, setting up large new departments and even ministries. Charles Gore argues that this growing popularity of regional planning in developing countries is profoundly paradoxical.

Excerpt from The Body of Christ: An Enquiry Into the Institution and Doctrine of Holy Communion This enquiry into the institution and doctrine of the holy eucharist was first announced under the title of The Breaking of the Bread; but as it appeared that this title was already appropriated, The Body of C heist was chosen for a title, because it expresses two most important aspects of eucharistic truth. It expresses the nature of the gift presented to us in the sacrament (corpus Christi), and also the nature of the holy society of which it is the spiritual nourishment, and of which it is written, Ye are the body of Christ.

Excerpt from Christian Moral Principles: Seven Sermons Preached in Grosvenor Chapel as a Lenten Course in 1921 These sermons were not intended for publication, nor were they written; and I know that in my case unwritten sermons are not fit for publication. But they were very well taken down by a shorthand reporter, and I have agreed to their publication, and revised them in a measure for the purpose, because I have some reason to hope they may be useful to others besides those who heard them in Grosvenor Chapel; and also for another reason. We are told constantly and truly that we greatly need good books on Moral Theology which are something more than adaptations of Roman Catholic books. Now "moral theology" may have different meanings. 1. It may mean the theology or doctrine of God which is required as a postulate for the moral principles and practices of the Christian life. This is a very important subject to which these sermons only attempt incidentally to make a slight contribution, especially sermons iv and v. But it is an important subject of study to which too little attention has recently been devoted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Charles Gore (1853-1932) was successively bishop of Worcester, Birmingham and Oxford, and a leading figure in the Christian Social Union, founded by Scott Holland in 1889. Although he ackowledged his debt to Maurice, Gore always said that his passion for social justice dated from a tour of the slums of Oxfordshire he was given by the trade union leader Joseph Arch. His socialism was cautious -- he indicated that he would probably prefer to stop somewhere this side of full-fledged socialism, but always added that we have a very long way to go before we get there.
