Most of the world's Protestant leaders will come to Evanston. Among them: Germany's Bishop Otto Dibelius, the Archbishop of Canterbury. Norway's Bishop Eivind Berggrav, Bishops G. Bromley Oxnam and Henry Knox Sherrill and Theologian Reinhold Niebuhr from the U.S.* But Dr. Visser 't Hooft was hopeful that delegates from the Iron Curtain churches would be there, too.
