This is the domain of Charles Parmiter, 29, a clergyman's son who was born in Massachusetts, brought up in Hawaii, and, after an Army stint in the Far East and four years as a reporter in Honolulu, joined the Los Angeles bureau of TIME.

"Let's welcome the modern world," he says. "Let's look for the good in secularism." Son of a clergyman, Shinn studied English literature at Ohio's Heidelberg College, theology at Union.
