THE GOSPEL OF LIFE
PLEA FOR MORE LIBERAL THEOLOGY.
Sydney, May 11
At the opening session of tho General Assembly of. the Presbyterian Church, the Rev. Edwards, the new Moderator, in his inaugural address, strongly pleaded for a more liberal theology to meet present-day needs. He declared: "Our Gospel is tho Gospel of life, and our doctrine must not l>e a repetition of the forms of expression that were made what ihey are by controversies and questions once living but now dead. If organised Christianity is to retain its hold upon tho educated people and regain the hold it has lost, it must have a theology which when challenged, could prove itself to be advancing with human knowledge and the development of moral consciousness."—Press Assn.
