New Churches For Old: A Plea For Community Religion is a book written by John Haynes Holmes and first published in 1922.

He believes that traditional churches are failing to meet the needs of people in the 20th century and that a new approach is needed.Holmes proposes that the new churches should be based on the principles of community, democracy, and social justice. He argues that they should be open to people of all races, religions, and social backgrounds, and that they should work to create a more just and equitable society.The book is divided into three parts. In the first part, Holmes discusses the problems with traditional churches and why they are failing to meet the needs of modern society. In the second part, he outlines his vision for the new churches and how they would operate. In the third part, he provides examples of successful community churches that are already operating in the United States.Overall, New Churches For Old is a thought-provoking book that challenges traditional ideas about religion and offers a new vision for a more inclusive and socially engaged form of spirituality.
