Appraising the chances of the plan of church unity proposed by Stated Clerk Eugene Carson Blake of the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. and approved by the denomination's General Assembly last month (TIME Cover, May 26), Dr. Van Dusen criticized Episcopal High Churchman John Heuss, rector of Manhattan's old and opulent Trinity Church.

But without sola scriptura, you simply cannot be Protestant at all, much less Calvinist...
