Devoted to the Science of Religion, The Religion of Science
and the Extension of the Religious Parliament Idea.
Science is slowly but surely transforming the world.
Science is knowledge verified; it is Truth proved; and Truth will always conquer in the end.
The power of Science is irresistible.
Science is the still small voice; it is not profane, it is sacred; it is not human, it is superhuman; Science is a divine revelation.
Convinced of the religious significance of Science, The Open Court believes that there is a holiness in scientific truth which is not as yet recognised in its full significance either by scientists or religious leaders. The scientific spirit, if it but be a genuine devotion to Truth, contains a remedy for many ills; it leads the way of conservative progress and comes not to destroy but to fulfil.
The Open Court on the one hand is devoted to the Science of Religion; it investigates the religious problems in the domain of philosophy, psychology, and history; and on the other hand advocates the Religion of Science. It believes that Science can work out a reform within the Churches that will preserve of religion all that is true, and good, and wholesome.
