Abstract
This study of the "church" and "sect" in the American
Labor movement began with certain "types" developed in the
Sociology of Religion. These types of the sect, "church"
(ecclesia) and mysticism were described in detail by Ernst
Troeltsch in his work, The Social Teachings of the Christian
Churches. Certain important qualifications of the Troeltsch
thesis were described.
Our experiment then took the "types" from the Sociology
of Religion and attempted to transfer them over into the
Sociology of the Labor Movement. Various theories of the
American labor movement were briefly reviewed.[Truncated]
