A RELIGIOUS THOUGHT
A CHRISTIAN BACKGROUND “ The background of our ethical outlook, our attitude towards the realities of life, is Christian, and Christianity has to a large extent moulded our present civilisation and still influences it. The ideals of democracy realised in freedom of expression, mutual toleration, the right to practise or not to practise religion—in a word the exaltation of personality — all these are closely intertwined with the teaching and practice of the Christian gospel.” [The Hon. W. E. Barnard, M.P., Speaker of the New Zealand House of Representatives.]
