Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Preaching in London: A Diary of Anglo-American Friendship Parts of the Diary in the following pages appeared as a series of articles in the Atlantic Monthly for August, September, and October, 1921; and I am indebted to the editor for his kindness in allowing me to use them here. The City Temple ministry was not intended to be permanent, but was undertaken as a kind of unofficial ambassadorship of goodwill from the Churches of America to the Churches of Britain, and as an adventure in Anglo-American friendship. It was a great privilege to stand at the cross-roads of the centuries at such a time, a teacher of Christian faith and an interpreter of the spirit and genius of our country to the motherland. The Diary, kept during those years of the Great War and the Little Peace, records observations, impressions, and reflections of men, women, and movements, of actors still on the stage of affairs, of issues still unsettled, and of beauty spots in one of the loveliest lands on earth. Of the necessity of the friendship of English-speaking peoples I am utterly convinced; but the possibility of it is not so manifest as it seemed to be. Once I discussed this matter with the most picturesque statesman of England over the tea-cups; and to my suggestion that America should have a tea-hour for relaxation from the strain of our hurrying life, he replied: "But, remember; we offered you tea once and you would not take it!" His thought was that what Americans and Britons need is "a smoking-room acquaintance" - something to break the stiffness and formality, and enable them to mingle in freedom and fellowship.
