...loud as Senator Henry Jackson or as brilliant as Senator Hubert Humphrey or as tough as House Democratic Caucus Chairman Phillip Burton. But he has a measure of real power in his committee chairmanship, and he talks quiet good sense in the ocean of babble. At 61 he looks 45, and he is three years along in a second marriage. He was once a high school teacher and then a builder. Now he is Baker, Ore.'s answer to Grand Rapids, Mich...

He receives more than 10,000 letters each week from admirers, including Doris Day and Hubert Humphrey. The modern church, which he describes as "a 22-acre shopping center for Jesus Christ," is fast becoming a magnet for success-seeking clergymen. Schuller's biggest push for clerical recognition comes this week as he presides over a Convocation on Church Growth for 400 leaders from around...
