Kepler Talks
On Religion
Speaking of our age as "an
age of religious confusion," Prof.
Thomas S. Kepler of the Oberlin
College Graduate School of Theol-
ogy addressed a seminar sponsored
by SRA Wednesday at Lane Hall
on the subject "How Shall We De-
fine Religion?"
Kepler spoke of religion as the
most normal of experiences, and
said that one can not get along
without it.
IN GIVING an overall picture
of the meaning of religion, he
quoted definitions by philosopher
Alfred North Whitehead, theolo-
gist Friedrich Schleiermacher, sc-
entific humanist Eustace Hayden
and author Matthev, Arnold, who
spoke of religion as being "what
one does with one's solitariness,"
"man's feeling of absolute depend-
ence on God," "the co-operative
quest for the good and satisfying
life" and "morality touched with
emotion."
In. order to get a true defini-
tion of religion,, he said,, one
must consider all four of these
definitions, as they are all part
of religion
