Grandfather Sam Johnson started but as a Baptist, converted to the Disciples of Christ, ended up a Christadelphian-which may be why Lyndon's Cousin Oriole still belongs to that hyperfundamentalist sect. Christadelphians claim to be living in the "last days of Antichrist," do not feel called upon to engage in social or political welfare, and are not supposed to vote, though Cousin Oriole has voted for Lyndon. Johnson's parents were Hard-Shell Baptists, but at 14 Lyndon joined the Disciples of Christ (the Garfield faith), and was baptized in the Pedernales River a few miles from...
...only prisoner with a claim to fame was Edwin A. Walker. He had arrived in Mississippi the day before the battle, proclaiming that the court orders on Meredith were part of "the conspiracy of the crucifixion by Antichrist conspirators of the Supreme Court." On the night of the battle, he was observed by newsmen and a campus minister to be holding forth at a sort of informal command post. Every now and then somebody would run up to him and ask for military counsel. One man who got close to him reported that "there was a wild, dazed look...
...philosophical theology at Southern Methodist University. Born in Cincinnati and a graduate of S.M.U.'s Perkins School of Theology, Ogden is one of the nation's most persuasive interpreters of Rudolf Bultmann's "demythologized" Christianity (TIME, Sept. 24, 1956).

In 1647, Scottish delegates to the Westminster Assembly wed their church to a Confession of Faith that described the Pope as "AntiChrist, man of sin, son of perdition." The Archbishop of Canterbury's 1960 visit to Pope John tested the ground for all Protestantism, and last May a resolution was put before the Kirk's General Assembly that the Moderator-"when in Rome"-should call on the Pope...
...darkness?" a minister shouted. When the resolution passed and the Kirk ruled that its Moderator could visit the Pope if invited, the conservative Free Church's journal thundered: "Instead of waiting cap in hand for an invitation from the Pope, we should be storming that bastion of AntiChrist with positive truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ." The "if invited" clause that the Auld Kirk faction had demanded seemed likely to scotch the visit, since by Vatican protocol the Pope invites no one. But the Pope MODERATOR CRAIG AT ST. PETER'S Over the Wall...
