...with each sect represented as a "Branch." Mr. Rockefeller, who would belong to the Baptist Branch but who has publicly announced he will give no more millions to sectarian enterprises (TIME, Nov. 25, 1935), voiced his agreement with Dr. Jones. Saying nothing about the Million Unit Fellowship, potential Christian Churchman Rockefeller declared: "It is a hopeful sign that many people are searching for a simple, fundamental religion as the way to peace, well-being and happiness. ... To the church should this quest naturally lead. But the church, with its sects, still clings to its denominationalism, in which a drifting, disillusioned...
...Catholics consider him a self- possessed, even arrogant man, his voice choked when he presented to Archbishop O'Doherty the Pope's gift to the Congress, a gold ciborium. For, as all the Philippines well knew, the arrival of the Cardinal was the homecoming of a churchman who had once labored there as missionary...
...keep Britain's colossal rush-Rearmament program (TIME, March 30 et seq.) on schedule is Sir Thomas' awful responsibility and last week some M.P.'s hurled in his face that "Rearmament is two years behind!" A great churchman, Sir Thomas reprovingly reminded everyone that Britain is firm in her adherence to the principles of Christ.

...Communion, considers its bishops merely "head presbyters," no more potent than other priests. A typical, evangelical Reformed Episcopalian is Bishop Higgins, who acquired a touch of Presbyterianism at Princeton Seminary, whither he went after attending Columbia and the Reformed Episcopal Seminary in Philadelphia. Since his ordination in 1928, affable Churchman Higgins, a bachelor, has been rector of New York's First Reformed Episcopal Church. In 1930 he persuaded his congregation of 400 to build the church and apartment house in which he was consecrated, a 14-story building in East Soth Street which, almost alone among Manhattan skyscraper churches...
Agreeing that church union is their only salvation, the 300 delegates thereupon voted to replace Dr. Holt with another lover of unity, Dr. Edgar DeWitt Jones, 60, of Detroit. This affable churchman, who will run the Federal Council for the next two years, is a Disciple of Christ. Born in Texas, he filled pastorates in rural Kentucky, Cleveland and Bloomington, Ill. before going to Detroit's Central Christian Church in 1920. That church Dr. Jones found in a run-down district, merged it with North Woodward Christian Church, raised money in 1928 for a fine new building...
