Hull House is not Full of Religious Strife

After reading Twenty Years at Hull House it is hard to see Jane Addams' work in the community as being a strictly religious mission.  First of all, throughout the reading it does not mention that there are any church services of any kind that take place.  It was Addams' goal to help those in her community, not help those in need for the glory of God.  One would think that her actions in building the Hull House are religious because of her Quaker upbringing.  Possibly, one could say that her work with the poor citizens of Chicago act like characteristics of the Christian faith that should be put forth.  However possible, she never speaks of religion in her undertaking of the poor folk.

Also, an important thing that she was very passionate was woman's rights and the ending of child labor.  She belonged to the NAACP and the first Woman's Peace Party in which she was elected president.  Her dedication in changing the world is not matched to many others.   Addams' never acted cenobitic in any of these dealings.
