RELIGION AND DEMOCRACY
THREAT BY INTERNATIONAL UNREST. “The position you are growing up into in international affairs is a sort of nightmare. It is fantastic,” said Sir Cyril Norwood, president of St John’s College, Oxford, in addressing secondary school boys. “But do not be frightened. War is never certain until it has come. Your generation, like your parents before you, has got to stand fast, because the things that matter are now threatened. The first is democracy, and the second something more important still, religion. True democracy and true religion exist together, and democracy depends for its inspiration on religion. If you gain the whole world it is a bad bargain if it means losing your own soul.”
