Implications and Explanations
Second of two talks by Antony G. N. Flew
Lecturer in Philosophy at King's College, Aberdeen
The speaker discusses the suggestion that the phenomena of pre-recognition have some bearing on the freedom of the will and that they show that causation can work backwards in time. He argues that these mistaken ideas arise from the conscious or unconscious use of an inappropriate explanatory model.

Talk by the Rev. E. H. Robertson
The speaker reports on discussions held in Switzerland last July by an international group of theologians who met at the invitation of the World Council of Churches to consider what message of hope the Church could give to the world.
The programme includes recorded extracts of talks by Reinhold Niebuhr , Bishop Lesslie Newbigin , W. A. Visser 't Hooft, and Robert Bilheimer. Mr. Robertson shows, by means of these recordings, how various theologians in the group tried to overcome the problem of defining a unitary hope that could be proclaimed in all parts of the world, and how they were eventually able to agree on a report that has now been submitted to the ISO Churches comprising the World Council of Churchea.
