Talk by R. Gregor Smith
All branches of knowledge face the problem of communicating to those who are not specialists in that branch. Christianity has a peculiar problem in that it lives by communicating itself to others. This makes its communication more than a matter of the use of words: the message itself becomes a combination of what has to be said and the man who says it. Mr. Gregor Smith examines this problem in communication.
