Answer: Draw the attention of Protestant churches to the plight of the urban poor.

Explanation:

It was a movement that sought to promote Protestant ethics and dogmas more in society. The movement advocated greater economic equality, the fight against a poor education system, child labor, an unclean environment, and poor living conditions. The movement also existed outside the United States' borders, so that one branch of the movement also existed in Canada. The most important representatives of the movement were Washington Gladden, Richard T. Ely, and Josiah Strong.
