Although all three bodies agree on the supremacy of the Bible and subscribe to two of the same traditional Lutheran confessions, the Synod believes strictly in the historical accuracy of Scripture-including the entire Book of Genesis. Until now it has stubbornly shunned contact with churches it felt interpreted the Bible more freely. It has rejected most of the ecumenical movement, and is not a member of either the World or the National Council of Churches, or even of the Lutheran World Federation...

Then, in 1955, he found himself in something of a bind, as he describes it, bored with splashing color around with the total freedom that abstraction allows. He felt a sudden need for "a kind of constraint," and found it by painting the human figure.

His physicians, limited in their medical knowledge and hindered by protocol in examining their royal patient (they could not inquire how he felt unless he spoke to them first), had long since concluded that the King was "under an entire alienation of mind." George III went down in history as the mad monarch, a judgment accepted by generations of historians and buttressed by psychiatric studies...
