... of It All. In the final programme of this series, Donald Reeves talks about the one certain fact of life - the inevitability of death, which the Old Testament prophets claimed was also true of societies. Such sayings are never easy, but he believes that they point to a new way of living and being which is waiting to be born: 'When all is gathered into God, then we shall know something of that peace, beauty, harmony and union for which we strive and for which religion exists.'
