‘Men Have Forgotten God’

‘Men Have Forgotten

This article is adapted from the address Mr. Solzhenitsyn gave on the occasion of his acceptance, in London on May 10, of this year’s Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion. The first winner of the Templeton Prize, in 1972, was Mother Teresa; last year’s winner was the Reverend Billy Graham. In announcing the 1983 award, the Templeton Foundation described Mr. Solzhenitsyn as “a pioneer in the renaissance of religion in atheist nations.” Mr. Solzhenitsyn’s introductory remarks were made at the awards ceremony at Buckingham Palace, with Prince Philip presiding. The address proper was delivered later the same day at the London Guildhall.
