He also indicates that he does not take credit for these ideas, but recognizes that they are inherent in the Gospel. He also expresses the feeling that the reason his lectures have been so widely and favorbly received is that so many people everywhere respect these values. We are grateful to him for expressing them so clearly and eloquently!
