...were 284 subjects of cover stories in every field of human endeavor, who had gathered at the Waldorf-Astoria to help celebrate the birthday. The party provided a unique opportunity for businessman to meet musician, for architect to meet politician, for entertainer to meet scientist, for general to meet churchman, for physician to meet sportsman. "The point of this party." said Editor in Chief Henry R. Luce, "is the people who are here, that they should enjoy meeting each other face to face, as we hope they have enjoyed meeting each other in the pages of TIME." Light Hearts & Great...
...safe, nondenominational way to be wrong is to call a churchman "reverend" -which is an adjective rather than a noun, and is likely to bring a shudder from even the kindliest clergyman when used as a title in direct address. "Calling a minister 'reverend,'" says the Right Rev. John Boyd Bentley of the Protestant Episcopal National Council, "is like meeting Churchill and saying, 'Good morning, honorable.'

A year and a half ago, Pike's unorthodoxy led a group of High Church ministers from Georgia to demand that the House of Bishops try him for heresy (they didn't). Now Dissenter Pike is faced with a schism of dissenters right in his own diocese...
...Rummage Sales. The principal dissenter is the rector of the Church of the Redeemer, the Rev. Edwin West. Canadian-born Schismatic West, a self-styled "eighth generation Anglican," was ordained to the ministry in 1945, became rector of St. Mark's in Palo Alto seven years later. High Churchman West has usually disagreed with the theological opinions of his bishop. Last winter, as part of a long-standing effort to get his parish to adopt tithing instead of rummage sales as a means of raising capital, West attacked some of his churchwomen from the pulpit. When the issue threatened...
