Using John Monro's switch to Miles College as an example of a noble but minor gesture. Traynham, for two years Assistant Episcopalian Chaplain at Harvard, denounced the University's investment policy, in his eulogy. "Harvard stands behind its individuals--like Monro," he said. "but is willing to risk anything in terms of the institution. Harvard," he continued, "is a pacesetter. It's not the richest segment of the corporate community, but it has tremendous influence academically...
...Negroes, as they gain in affluence, tend to abandon fundamentalist churches. Says Detroit N.A.A.C.P. Leader Robert Tindal, describing the Negro's Christian status ladder: "When you're poor, you're Baptist; when you advance slightly, you become a Methodist; when you arrive you're an Episcopalian." By comparison with King and other outspoken Southern pastors, the majority of Northern clergy have been much more passive in the struggle for equality-and have allowed the movement to fall into militant secular hands.

Since the court hearing was announced, Judge Myers, an Episcopalian, has received more than 4,500 letters of advice suggesting proofs for the soul's existence.

That sort of talk does not endear Brooke to the militants. Some hotheads in the rights movement virtually accuse him of being an Uncle Tom. To millions of other Negroes, his image is blurred at best. Because of his pale skin, his Episcopalian faith, his reserved New England manner, he is looked upon as what might be described as a "NASP"?the Negro equivalent of the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. Only two of his 19 Senate staffers are Negroes, because Brooke refuses to hire people on the basis of race; to many Negroes that in itself is grounds...
...Reductionist Pike's case reduces to this: the question is not whether he is right or wrong, but whether he is Episcopalian. His non-transcendent, non-omnipotent, non-Trinitarian, nonChristian, nonBiblical god does not represent a new description of the Christian God, but a new god. As long as he holds such beliefs as a member of a Christian church, he shows himself to be without the character to stand for what he believes without the support of those whom his robes deceive...
