RADIO PROGRAM NO. 288 - can Religion Be an Adventure?

Questioner: Young people today long for adventure. But there are so many exciting things going on—the space program, overseas travel, the Peace Corps—that they don't see any place for religion. And they ask what place religion has.

Speaker: Why do you think all these things you mentioned are exciting to young people?

Questioner: Well, these things are exciting to me because they involve working with and helping people. I think young people today leave a church edifice having heard fine ideas, but these seem to lack relevance to what they see when they walk outside. They see people in need, perhaps people who don't have jobs, and they want religion to be related to people. They want to work with people.
