Into Oxford's old Sheldonian Theatre to be welcomed by Oxford's doughty Yorkshire Chancellor, Lord Halifax, last week filed 800 grave churchmen from every part of the globe. They had come for a World Conference on Church. & State, first big international and interdenominational meeting of the churches since the Stock, holm Conference of 1925. As at Stockholm, there were no Roman Catholic delegates, and their absence was duly lamented in a welcoming speech by His Grace, the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury. Then the Archbishop's onetime dean, the Bishop of Chichester, told the gathering that Bishop...
...nine years ago the Protestant Episcopal Church appointed a Commission on Marriage & Divorce to whittle down its Canon 41, which stoutly enjoined Episcopal pastors from solemnizing the marriages of divorced persons. Under the chairmanship of Michigan's grey and liberal Bishop Herman Page, the commission consists of sixteen churchmen and laymen including Colorado's Bishop Irving Peake Johnson, Missouri's Bishop William Scarlett, longtime Director of the Russell Sage Foundation John Mark Glenn, onetime (1917-21) U. S. Ambassador to Japan Roland Sletor Morris, and Justice Origen S. Seymour of the Connecticut Court of Common Pleas. Three...
Next the Radical Alliance bestowed its blessings upon a C.I.O. strike, that of workers in the Loose-Wiles Biscuit plant in Lawrenceville, Pa., and last fortnight the zealous trio of churchmen made a quick dash into the great and grim labor war in Steel (see p. 11). At Struthers, Ohio, while Monsignor O'Toole and Father Hensler looked approvingly on, Father Rice stood in the rain, harangued encouragement at strikers of Youngstown Sheet & Tube's coke plant. Ohio priests who had kept mum on or disapproved the C.I.O. were discomfited to learn that once more the Radical Alliance...
...Church had successfully liquidated the "Coughlin affair" of last autumn (TIME, Aug. 17 .et seq.) by giving the radio priest plenty of rope, it was putting a strong man in Detroit especially to prevent any repetition of Coughlinism. Archbishop Mooney is modest, good-natured, affable in dealing with churchmen of other faiths. In Rochester he drives his own automobile, plays golf in the 80s, stays away from parties. Catholic eulogizers speak of his "short, concise sermons," but Rochesterites long ago be came used to the fact that Archbishop Mooney is no great orator. Each year he takes a crowd...
...Association meeting in Boston last week, and the presidency went to Dr. Eliot as scheduled. Only acrimony at the meeting was when a resolution was introduced expressing Unitarian satisfaction with the gaining power of U. S. Labor. Ordinarily as liberal as any U. S. churchmen, the Unitarians voted down the resolution after many a delegate had argued that Labor was not a proper concern of a religious convention...
