...Congregational & Christian Church is a three-year-old merger of a stout body which stems from the Pilgrim Fathers of 1620, and a small left-wing Methodist sect formed in 1792. With a million-odd members in 6,000 churches, the C. & C. Church has a moderator but no ponderous machinery to run things from the top. With New England firmness the individual churches do their own thinking and talking. This church last week was the first to come out against the scheme of Chicago's Adolph Oettinger Goodwin to gear piety with business in such a way that...
...Goodwin Plan. But the church Press has been explanatory and denunciatory, with the liberal Christian Century the most vigilant. Seizing upon the list of churchmen who endorsed the Goodwin Plan, the Christian Century got Dr. Ernest Fremont Tittle of Evanston and Dr. Ralph Washington Sockman of Manhattan, both famed Methodists, to recant. Not to be shamed out of their support for this temple & trade hookup, however, were Episcopal Bishops George Craig Stewart (Chicago) and James Matthew Maxon (Tennessee); Methodist Bishops Francis John McConnell (New York) and Ernest Lynn Waldorf (Chicago...

...GRACE OF GOD is called down daily upon the Senate and the House by Chaplains Ze Barney Thome Phillips (right in cut below) and James Shera Montgomery, respectively. House Chaplain Montgomery (Methodist) was less flowery than Senate Chaplain Phillips (Episcopalian). On opening day last week the latter began, "God of our fathers, Fountain of light and love, before whose boundless gaze the seasons roll in majesty and might, and man, Thy miniature divine, was made to walk the earth in joy; incline, at this momentous hour of the newborn year, our thoughts to prayer, our lips to praise...
Chautauqua's site, beside Lake Chautauqua in New York's southwestern tip, was once a Methodist camp-meeting ground. In 1874 a Methodist circuit preacher named John Heyl Vincent and a pious Ohio inventor named Lewis Miller held a two-week institute for Sunday School teachers there. Both men were self-edu-cated, hungry for knowledge, eager to spread it. Within 1 5 years they had added schools of languages and music, started the famed Chautauqua Literary & Scientific Circle for home reading. Thus arose a unique conglomeration of religion, culture and fun which the late Theodore Roosevelt once...
