标题: 《THE ANATOMY OF THE BODY OF GOD》 [打印本页] 作者: 飛翔朱雀 时间: 2009-3-5 12:26 标题: 《THE ANATOMY OF THE BODY OF GOD》 Although the title of this short essay may seem, to some who have not read its contents, to be both presumptuous and unwarrantable, it is hoped that these will resrve their judgment until they have given due attention and consideration to the study of such an important subject.
we are living in strange times. Civilization seems rapidly to be breaking up, while yet some inner urge is at work towards a better adn more balanced construction in may departments of life.
One of the results of the Great War has been to turn the minds of many people from some of the narrower conceptions of life into wider channels. A spirit of enquiry has become apparent on the part of those who had previously been content to accept statemnts in regard to life's deeper issues on mere lelief or hearsay. Many new Movements have arisen under the guidance of people who have obtained at least a partial glimpse of man's wider heritage, and there has been a corresponding falling away from what may be termed the orthodox or established order of things in the churches and elsewhere. Many conutries have been making experiments of various kinds, most of which, however, being the outcome of "reform movements" of the narrowest sort, aer quickly proving themselves to be unsatisfactory and inadequate. At present, amid all these indications, there seems to have been no complete solution in sight, and, so it might appear, very little comprehension, evev on the part of those who aer honestly doing their best under the circumstances, of the underlying principles involved. Those who should really be in a position to help, aer unable to do so effectively for the same reason.
