Although
the reality of God's continuous relationship with His creation and His intervention
in human life and history are the very essence of the teachings of the Founders
of the revealed religions, dogmatic materialism today insists that even the
nature of religion itself can be adequately understood only through the use of
an academic methodology designed to ignore the truths that make religion what
it is.

House of Justice to all National Spiritual Assemblies)
