...narrow, 110-yd. corridor of no man's land between East and West Berlin. Countless Adolf Hitler squares or streets in German cities and towns have been renamed, often in honor of such heroes of the plots to overthrow him as Klaus von Stauffenberg, Julius Leber and Lutheran Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Adolf, once a popular name, is seldom bestowed on German children today. About the only lasting memento is the 1,800 miles of modern autobahnen Hitler built, but even these highways have been broadened, resurfaced and extended beyond recognition...
...patients who have passed through his Berlin Suicide Prevention Center, Thomas found few unusual characteristics. Most (53%) of the patients were troubled by problems of sex and marriage. One in twelve patients were men of the cloth, but that was no great surprise to Thomas, an ex-Lutheran pastor. "Everyone else turns to the clergy," he says. "But to whom does the clergy turn...
...major development in religious education will be the ''cluster seminary," modeled on the successful Graduate Theological Union on "Holy Hill" in Berkeley. Founded only seven years ago, G.T.U. now includes nine seminaries and seven associated centers, including Episcopal, Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran and Unitarian institutions, and three theological schools of Roman Catholic religious orders: Jesuit, Dominican and Franciscan.

"Not a church, but a community," according to its pastor, it has 160 members who have "accepted the covenant" and 100 or so more who attend with some regularity. The members are busy, but not with...
Oswald C. J. Hoffmann, 55, chairman of the Congress, is a jowly, Laughtonesque spellbinder who attracts some 30 million listeners to his weekly Lutheran Hour radio sermons. A onetime Lutheran pastor and college teacher, Hoffmann was a public relations director for the Missouri Synod Lutherans when he joined the show in 1955. Though Hoffmann can roll out a soul-jarring sermon as if he had been stumping the hill country all his life, he insists that evangelism is not only "proclamation" but social action as well...
