Evolution of Religion
Many folk are turned off by religion because they feel the forms of worship are outmoded--not fit for our modern world.
Some folk feel that the moral dimension of religion should be modernized.
Many of the last group actually want to do away with morals...
Today's excerpt from Reality explores how Religion must Evolve:
"Note thou carefully that in this world of being, all things must ever be made new. Look at the material world about thee, see how it hath now been renewed. The thoughts have changed, the ways of life have been revised, the sciences and arts show a new vigour, discoveries and inventions are new, perceptions are new. How then could such a vital power as religion -- the guarantor of mankind's great advances, the very means of attaining everlasting life, the fosterer of infinite excellence, the light of both worlds -- not be made new? This would be incompatible with the grace and lovingkindness of the Lord."
