Have been reading The Meaning of Faith (1917) by Harry Emerson Fosdick. In the section I read this morning, Fosdick remarked that “the eternal purpose is not timed by our small clocks” so “we have to confess with Theodore Parker, ‘The trouble seems to be that God is not in a hurry and I am'” (p. 86).
