S: Yes, I enjoyed every [[word]] of your long-winded answer. And I liked your [[summary]] with the short answer. [[The Master]], when He was here, had a group of [[apostles]] who did what we would call [[work]] and there were time - at least once a week, maybe twice a week - when, they said in the [[Urantia Book]], to have ceased [[work]] and enjoyed [[leisure]]. I would [[expect]] that even during their leisure they worked at least a little, but I would like a comment on the [[relationship]] between [[work]] and [[leisure]].

R: Yes. Well, at the time that the [[Urantia Book]] was indited, the [[formal]] [[understanding]] of the [[word]] "work" included mainly [[physical]] toil, but also an element of the [[intellectual]] toil to which you alluded just now, and the [[syntax]] use of the word "[[leisure]]" included [[rest]] activities such as [[sleep]], nourishment activities such as eating, and [[worship]] activities, so leisure did not primarily refer to [[worship]]. But worship was considered to be [[leisure]], definitely.
