Excerpt from The Chaplain, Vol. 17: A Journal for Protestant Chaplains; June, 1960

The pastor is not the man with all the answers; he is, rather, the man who puts the right questions, and enables his people to ask ques tions at a deeper level than they have ever dared to probe hitherto. To put it in biblical language, the pastor is the man who speaks and lives with his people in such a way that they are encouraged to say: Out of the depths do I cry unto thee, O Lord. And one way Of eliciting this cry is to encourage people both to do'ubt and to believe at a deeper level than they normally do. Much of their lives are lived at a shallow level that shrinks back from pursuing the logic Of their stated creed to the end. We could do a great service for some men simply by taking them more serious ly than they take themselves!
