...such problem is ecumenism-particularly, Methodism's willingness to commit itself to the Blake proposal for one big Protestant superchurch. While the leaders speak favorably about ecumenism, Methodists do not have "a compelling feeling that we must unite churches to overcome the scandal of division," says the Rev. James Wall, editor of the biweekly Christian Advocate...
...Darling, at Robert Eraser's art gallery on Duke Street. There she sees Fashion Designer Pauline Fordham in a silver metallic coat, Starlet Sue Kingsford in a two-piece pink trouser suit with a lovely stretch of naked turn, Los Angeles-born Pop Artist Jann Haworth Blake, Detroit-born Negro Model Donyale Luna. Later, with Michael Rainey, 25, owner of Hung On You, she dances at Dolly's discothèque in Jermyn Street, where the deafening beat comes from the Action, the Stones, the Who, the Animals, the Mindbenders, and Cilia Black, and the right drink...
Rarely anthologized, sympathetic to many literary camps, but with a foot in none of them, John Berryman is as close to being sui generis as anyone but Blake, Trotsky and Christopher Smart. New York has adopted him only since the mid-fifties, for although his poems appeared n the Nation and the New Republic since the thirties, much of his earlier work and most of its critical acknowledgment were published in Chicago's Poetry.

In U.S. ecumenical circles, he is famed as author of the "Blake proposal...
Aloof and often sensitive to criticism, Visser 't Hooft has been primarily a scholar-diplomat, learned enough to hold his own on any divinity-school faculty. Blake, as he readily admits, is no theologian. Nonetheless, he has what President Arthur McKay of Chicago's McCormick Theological Seminary calls "an instinctive theological savvy about the issues that are facing the church." Out of conviction that Christianity has a duty to speak out on social issues, Blake has done more than merely preach about Negro rights; in 1963 he was arrested for attempting to integrate an amusement park in Maryland...
