"Faith will not be restored in the West because people believe it to be useful. It will return only when they find that it is true." (Barbara Ward- Faith and Freedom) (26:2) "To recapture the imagination and character of man, religion must first make terms with science; not by surrendering.. but by restating spiritual truth in terms compatible with the known and accepted truths of science." (Stanwood Cobb- Tomorrow & Tomorrow).... (26:3) .."(Arthur) Koestler.. is convinced of one thing: if there is to be a spiritual reawakening, it will be like nothing that we have ever seen before... There can be no question of a swing back to the traditional churches which are "venerable anachronisms" which ask us to split our brains into halves and speak the language of a past epoch. What will be required.. is.. the emergence of a 'new religion' a 'new type of faith' which, as Delattre remarks.. in the 'Age of Longing' will demand a cosmic loyalty with a doctrine acceptable to twentieth century man.." (Religion and Rise of Scepticism, p. 231)
(26:6)
