...nation's most persuasive organs of Protestant opinion. Even after he retired two years ago, Poling stayed active as head of the Christian Herald Charities, which operates the 83-year-old Bowery Mission. Playwright Robert Sherwood once said of Poling that "the whole United States is his parish." It might better have been said, the whole world...

Presbyterian Theologian Robert McAfee Brown of Stanford, who believes that the traditional parish structure will eventually be an anachronism, suggests that the church should be prepared to quarter itself "in campaign tents rather than cathedrals.
