The main goal of the social gospel movement was to apply Christian principles to address social issues such as poverty and inequality. The settlement movement aimed to provide social services and support to disadvantaged communities, often through settlement houses in urban areas. Both movements sought to improve the lives of the less fortunate and promote social justice.
The Social Gospel is a movement in Christianity that seeks to apply Christian principles to social problems, with a focus on social justice, alleviating poverty, and promoting equality. This concept was put into action through the establishment of settlement houses, advocating for labor rights and reforms, supporting education and healthcare initiatives for the disadvantaged, and actively engaging in community service and outreach programs.

The Social Gospel movement is the intersection of religion and social service. It applies Christian principles to social justice issues, including poverty, inequality, crime, racism, and destruction of the environment.
The Social Gospel movement dealt with the day-to-day issues of the working class. This led it to become intertwined with labor movements. It also tied in with the Progressive movement that took the early twentieth century by storm. The Social Gospel movement is said to have had some influence on womenÕs suffrage and prohibition.
One of the best examples of the social gospel at work is the Settlement House Movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Settlement houses like Hull House in Chicago provided education, healthcare, and community services to improve the lives of the urban poor. These efforts were rooted in Christian ethical principles and aimed to address the social injustices of the time.
The settlement house movement led to the new profession of social work
