Besides returning to orthodox belief in Allah, Wallace Muhammad has abolished his father's separatism, which also ran counter to orthodox Islam. Elijah Muhammad had demanded a piece of the U.S. for a separate black nation, and taught that Allah would destroy the white devils and their civilization by the end of this century. Wallace Muhammad, who has opened membership in the sect to all races, told Survival Day worshipers, "We know there is no superiority in any color." He has also abolished the group's muscular police force, the "Fruit of Islam...
...earth like some psychic biosphere. As this envelopment progressed, Teilhard believed, man would eventually transcend his individualism and converge at the "Omega Point" with the Omega -God.

Henry first won fame in 1948, while teaching at California's Fuller Theological Seminary, when he wrote The Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism.

...contains a living and incorruptible breath, a spirit impervious to age." Ever since the superb temple of the Parthenon was built atop the Acropolis in the 5th century B.C., it has survived the mutations of history. Conquering Romans turned the Parthenon into a brothel; Christians made it an Orthodox church; the Turks converted it to a mosque, and then used it as a powder magazine-which exploded when hit by Venetian artillery in 1687. But nothing in the Parthenon's history has equaled the damage done to it in the past 50 years by the ravages of air pollution...
