Apparently, it has not died out.
“In the United States, the Social Gospel is still influential in mainline Protestant denominations such as the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Presbyterian Church USA, the United Church of Christ, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and the United Methodist Church; it seems to be growing in the Episcopal Church as well, especially with that church's effort to support the ONE Campaign. In Canada, it is widely present in the United Church and in the Anglican Church. Social Gospel elements can also be found in many service and relief agencies associated with Protestant denominations and the Catholic Church in the United States. It also remains influential among Christian socialist circles in Britain in the Church of England, and Methodist and Calvinist movements.” Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Gospel
The National Council of Churches (NCC) in the U.S.A. finds expression through social action and social justice. It has 38 member communions—over 40 million individuals—100,000 congregations from Protestant, Anglican, Orthodox, Evangelical, historic African-American, and Living Peace traditions.
“In faith, responding to our Creator, we celebrate the full humanity of each woman, man, and child, all created in the divine image as individuals of infinite worth, by working for:
Full civil, political and economic rights for women and men of all races
Abolition of forced labor, human trafficking, and the exploitation of children
Employment for all, at a family-sustaining living wage, with equal pay for comparable work
The rights of workers to organize, and to share in workplace decisions and productivity growth
Protection from dangerous working conditions, with time and benefits, to enable full family life
A system of criminal rehabilitation, based on restorative justice and an end to the death penalty”
