One is the unspoken sense of togetherness in the brotherhood of suffering, or as Steiner tries to put it, "By himself a man is scrap iron." The other is that courage has a logic (or a lunacy) all its own: "To fight for a conviction does not require heroism.

Church membership is helping people to live more worthwhile and satisfying lives."* Mental health, he said, is inseparably intertwined with questions of moral values, as well as with feelings of guilt, anxiety and insecurity. Said Executive Director George C. Anderson, associate chaplain at Manhattan's St. Luke's Hospital: "The 325,000 clergymen...
...four chalices which will be used in the service are kept in Fogg Museum. Records there indicate that the Corporation voted on November 20, 1814, "that the President (John Thornton Kirkland), Dr. Lathrop (John Lathrop, Secretary to the Board of Overseers), and Professor Hedge (Levi Hedge, College Professor of Logic and Metaphysics, and Alfred Professor of Natural Religion, Moral Philosophy, and Civil Polity) be authorized to procure a service of plate suitable for the Communion at the expense of the Corporation."
