[Painted Windows by Harold Begbie]@TWC D-Link bookPainted Windows CHAPTER XI 4/12
Religion has not taught; it has used mankind as a dictaphone. He has spoken to me with great hope and confidence of the change which is coming over the Church in this matter of religious teaching.
Dr. Headlam, the Regius Professor of Divinity, has lighted a candle at Oxford which by God's grace will never be put out.
There is now a fairly general feeling that men who enter the ministry must be educated not to pass a test or to prove themselves capable of conducting a service or performing as rite, but educated as educators--apostles of truth, evangelists of the higher life. Religion, according to Dr.Selbie, is something to be taught.
It is not a mystery to be presented, but an idea to be inculcated.
The world has got to understand religion before it can live religiously. But all education stands in sore need of the trained teacher.
