Brotherhood of the Kingdom

George Boardman was a founding member of the Brotherhood of the Kingdom [Gary J. Dorrien, "The Making of American Liberal Theology: Imagining Progressive Religion, 1805-1900" (Published by Westminster John Knox Press, 2001) page 91] in 1892, a group of the leading thinkers and writers of the Social Gospel movement at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. Other pastors and authors who founded the group with Boardman were leading Social Gospelers Walter Rauschenbusch, Samuel Zane Batten and Leighton Williams.

Boardman is probably best remembered for the quotation attributed to him as:

"The law of the harvest is to reap more than you sow. Sow an act, and you reap a habit; sow a habit, and you reap a character; sow a character, and you reap a destiny."

He died in Atlantic City, New Jersey and is buried at The Woodlands Cemetery.
