Taking Stock

Summing up, Moberly makes five heads: (1) "All inhibitions of discussion of the burning questions of the day must be removed." (2) "If such confrontation is to be genuine, communications must be restored between isolated mental worlds." (3) "There is a limit to neutrality." (4) The vaguely adumbrated common values beneath our differences must be explored and grasped. (5) Christians must play the parts of a "creative minority."

This article does not pretend to be a full or fair precis of Moberly's book. The aim has been to extract those points that are most general and those which can be most readily appreciated in Victoria University College. There are in the books a wealth of other topics not mentioned here, including more specifically Christian attitudes.
