Section 5—' Abundant Life'
Answers to Listeners' Questions
By the Rev. GEORGE F. MACLEOD , M.C.
With the answers broadcast by Mr.
MacLeod tonight to listeners' questions on his two lectures, this very notable series comes to an end. It began as far back as October 7 with an introductory lecture by the Religious Director of the BBC, and he has been followed by the Rev. J. S. Whale , the Very Rev. W. R. Matthews , Dean of St. Paul's, the Rev. Father Martindale, Professor C. E. Raven , and Mr. MacLeod.
What has added individuality and interest to the series has been the answering of listeners' queries by each speaker at the end of his particular number of lectures. Thousands sent queries. And it seemed to be the general opinion that what the Archbishop of Canterbury wrote in his foreword in the pamphlet has proved very true : ' We greatly need a larger amount of clear and resolute thinking about religion. The life of religion is not in thought alone. But thought always comes into it. This series gives an excellent opportunity for improving the quality of our religious thoughts.'
