...Episcopalian Price has been holding weekly healing services since 1942. He is warden of the Order of St. Luke the Physician, a group of clergy and laymen, including physicians, who take literally St. James's injunction: "Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church and let them pray over him." The order insists that "spiritual healing" should be included in the ministry of established Protestant churches, traditionally chary of faith cures. Dominated by Episcopalians, the interdenominational Order of St. Luke exudes a well-bred approach that would shock Oral Roberts...
...four Bay Area newspapers charging that Pike's radical theological views "are unacceptable to us, and contrary to the credal beliefs as set forth in the Nicene and Apostles' Creeds -the fundamental beliefs of the Protestant Episcopal Church." Although they thus claimed to be authentically Episcopalian, the vestrymen admitted that in conscience they could not return to the jurisdiction of the church until Pike changed his views or the Episcopalian House of Bishops denounced his theology...
...West parishioners at St. Mark's refused to accept his resignation as final. They asked Pike for permission to leave St. Mark's and set up a new parish with West as rector. When the bishop refused, more than 100 members of the Parish-most of them Episcopalian conservatives who had little use for Pike's doctrinal views-organized a new congregation outside Episcopal jurisdiction and asked West to come back as rector. West announced his intention of giving up Episcopal orders, and accepted the call...
...magazine Graham's committee chose Baptist Professor Carl Henry, 49, of Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena. He agreed to take on the job for a year "to get things moving in the right direction." Henry is still keeping Christianity Today on the move. Raised as an Episcopalian, Henry was editor of the weekly Smithtown, N.Y., Star at the age of 20, when he underwent what he calls "a dynamic Pauline conversion." He studied for a divinity degree at Chicago's Northern Baptist Theological Seminary, earned a Ph.D. in philosophy from Boston University, has written and edited 17 books...
Such expansion would be unprecedented in the proud history of the two small "liberal" churches that merged in Boston one year ago. The first U.S. Unitarians were Congregationalist and Episcopalian rebels; they rejected the divinity of Christ because the Trinity seemed incompatible with the idea of one God. In the 19th century, Unitarianism nurtured the flowering of New England. The Harvard Divinity School was virtually a seminary for the church until 1870. Emerson, Longfellow, Thoreau and Hawthorne called themselves Unitarians. Since about 1930, Unitarianism has tended to divide into two uneasily yoked branches: one seeks to preserve the church...
