...High Church proclivities he does not thrust upon his flocks. Low Churchmen were known to have voted for his election. Tall, handsome, he caters to the cope and mitre but not to the rich. If he were a Presbyterian he might be called a fine pastor; as an Episcopalian he is a poor speaker, a hard worker among the needy...
...June 1928, he began proceedings in the common pleas court, Philadelphia, for reinstatement in the Episcopalian ministry. The suit is still pending. Last year he went abroad to stump for Britain's Labor Party. Lately he has been preaching at St. Columba's Church, Hull, England. Last week the Rev.

...churchmen who listened to the buzz last September when Rev. William St. John Blackshear, Brooklyn Episcopalian, discouraged the attendance of Negroes in his church, noted that Parson Blackshear did not actually disbar any Negro from his congregation (TIME, Sept. 30). Last week a more pointed incident of the same sort gave churchmen something more to buzz about. Pastor Adelbert J. Helm of Detroit's Bethel Evangelical Church announced his resignation. Reason: his church council's refusal of membership to a Negro man, a Negro woman...
