In Their Struggle For The Ethical Good, Teachers Of Religion Must Have The Stature To Give Up The Doctrine Of A Personal God, That Is, Give Up That Source Of Fear And Hope Which In The Past Placed Such Vast Power In The Hands Of Priests.

This Is, To Be Sure, A More Difficult But An Incomparably More Worthy Task.
