How did Bishop Brooks teach Helen the religion of love. Write about 150 to 200 words (10 marks)

Answer 1

Bishop Brooks taught Helen the religion of love. He was really a spiritual person with a compopolitan outlook. He remained a source of solace and inspiration to Helen. As a child Helen would sit on his knee and hold his hand with one of hers. Miss Sullivan spelled into her free hand his beautiful words about God and the spiritual world.Helen heard him with a child's wonder and delight. He gave her a real sense of joy in life.When she was puzzled to know why there were so many religions in the world, the Bishop told her that there is one Universal religion and that is the religion of love. He also told that we should love our Heavenly Father with whole heart and soul.
He thus, impressed upon Helen's mind two great ideas--the fatherhood of god and the brotherhood of man. He made her feel that these truths underlie all creeds and forms of worship. After his death Helen read the Bible and some philosophical works on religion.
But she found no creed or system more soul-satisfying than his creed of love.
