摘要
基督新教向来注重教民的自身修养和道德建设,崇尚福利慈善。作为其重要分支的清教在这方面更为突出。来到美国后,他们继承这一传统,既关爱弱者,又发展慈善,同时也减轻了政府政治与经济两方面的压力,维护社会稳定。全国上下得以将力量汇聚一处,快速推动社会向前发展。
Protestant Church has ever been adhering to moral construction, improving charity and social welfare. Puritanism, a typical ramification of Protestantism, can be deemed as the vanguard in the above-mentioned aspect. After arriving what is now called USA, the Protestants keep and improve this tradition： caring the needy; promoting charity and social welfare, and easing the political and economic burden of the Government, all of which facilitates a stable society. This makes it possible for the USA to rally the whole nation＇s attention to drive the country forward.
