ABOUT THIS BOOKLET: First published in 1958, it is a 19 page lecture given by the Rev. Dr (psychology). Leslie D. Weatherhead (1893-1976)--one of the great prophetic preachers and pastoral healers of the time, whose books, especially PSYCHOLOGY, RELIGION AND HEALING greatly influenced my ministry (1953-1994) in Canada.
The lecture was given in City Temple a Congregational church in London, England, which was his parish at the time. He was ordained a Methodist. With wife and family, I visited City Temple in 1984. Sad to say, with the passing of LDW, it was no longer the great centre for the whole Gospel--the good news of holistic healing as preached, taught and practiced by Jesus. Thank G~0~D (note I use a tilde and a zero)--The Way, that is, all that is Good, Opportune and Desirable, basic to the message of Weatherhead, lives on in his well researched and documented writings. LDS took a rational and scientific approach to all aspects of religion. He was very open minded and inclusive. He welcomed the questions of philosophers, scientists--even of sceptical scientists--and the contributions of creative poets and artists. He never asked his readers to have the blind kind of faith; the kind required by dogmatic religions; the kind that excludes the faith of others and demands obedience to the ONE True Faith, without any questioning.
It is no wonder that LDS was very respected by minister of the United Church of Canada (Methodist, Presbyterian, Congreational & others, established in 1925--5 years before I was born in NewFoundland. For more information www.lindsayking.ca
