Explanation

The Social Gospel movement applied Christian teachings to social problems such as poverty and poor living conditions. Settlement houses offered services and support in struggling urban neighborhoods, making their growth a direct result of this reform-minded approach. The Salvation Army and temperance groups also aided or addressed social concerns, but settlement houses most directly illustrate the Social Gospel movement.
