Podcast Excerpt: The concept of a process of development carries with it the idea, not of a finished but of an unfinished world. It interprets history not as a record of people and events separate from the stage upon which they appear, but as the story of the influence of an unfinished world upon an undeveloped people, and of the marvelous unfolding through which the hidden powers and qualities of the material, and the worker, are brought into play. Work becomes, therefore, not only a continuation of the divine activity in the world, but a process entwined with the very constitution of that world.
