Evidence:
Passages transcribed in E. M. Forster's Commonplace Book (1941) include remark that '[Christ] was the Son of Man, because, though greater than any of his generation, he was younger, he belonged, by the creative power which he allowed to keep flowing in renewal through him, to a generation of men, who even now after two thousand years, have yet to be born.' Forster then notes: 'Thus does Gerald Heard spice up his urge to prayer in The Creed of Christ. Have written (20-9-41) a letter to him which I ought to have transcribed. Like other priests, he so emphasises the perils of mis-prayer that one feels it was wise never to have started.'
