  The Christian Century - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was purchased by Charles Clayton Morrison, who continued publication and became a highly influential spokesman for liberal Christianity.
Morrison advocated higher criticism of the Bible, and the Social Gospel, which included concerns about child labor, women's suffrage, racism, war and pacifism, alcoholism and prohibition, environmentalism and many other political and social issues.
The magazine was a common target for criticism by fundamentalists during the Fundamentalist - Modernist debate of the early 20th century.

 Dr. Morrison and the First Amendment (1948)
I would, therefore, be quite happy, were it not for one disturbing fact: the new, supposedly rational and historical interpretation of the First Amendment has all the appearances of a subordinate, constitutional myth tailored to fit the exigencies of the still dominant, chiefly operative, religio-political myth of the camel's nose.
Morrison is not known as an expert in American constitutional law, or in the history of American education, or in the broad juridical problem, historically highly complicated, of the relations of Church and State.
Morrison is a gifted journalist, who is devoting his declining years to a Great Cause—that of foiling, through the instrumentality of an aroused Protestantism, the plot of the Catholic hierarchy against American liberties.

 Charles Clayton Morrison: Shaping a Journal’s Identity
Morrison accepted the position at the small (less than half the size of the Perry congregation) west-side church in the city and became active in the Disciples community of the Hyde Park area located near the University of Chicago.
Morrison also became friendly with the group of men who had supported the journal since its move from Iowa to Chicago in 1891, and who were responsible for the 1900 name change.
It is evident that this period influenced Morrison’s permanent interest in exploring the relationships between religion and its surrounding culture, with the result that a unique feature of the Century came to be its openness to articles on topics -- political and literary, for instance -- that did not commonly appear in religious publications.

This criticism persisted even after the German war machine had overrun half a dozen European states, captured Paris and bombed London -- after the pathologies of Nazi rule became widely known.
