...member First Presbyterian Church, oldest Protestant church (founded 1833) in a restless city, stands in what used to be an all-white neighborhood. In the last decade, notably since the 1948 Supreme Court decision against Jim Crow real-estate restrictions, more and more Negroes have settled there. Under Pastor Harold L. Bowman, who had preached hard against the anti-Negro measures, Negro children began coming to First Presbyterian Sunday school, and soon adults followed. Last week, when Pastor Bowman, 67, announced his resignation after 24 years, he announced also that next month integration at his church (by now 10% Negro...
Portraitist Morse had once hoped to "be among those who shall revive the splendor of the 15th century." The son of a stiff-necked Yankee pastor, he conceived the notion that art can be purely "intellectual." While Morse was at Yale, President Timothy Dwight regularly admonished his students against all kinds of fun. "Recollect," Dwight would cry out, "that you are to give an account of your conduct at the last day." Samuel Morse felt quite at home in this stringent atmosphere. Along with painting, he dabbled in electricity, which alarmed his father. "Your natural disposition,'' warned...
...third generation of Lutheran pastors in his family (his son is pastor of St. Philip's Lutheran Church in Brooklyn), Dr. Fry, 56, is a Yankee fan, an ardent Democrat, and a purposeful pinochle player-he has frequently trounced the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Rummel (TIME. Oct. 24, 1955 et seq.), onetime pastor of a Roman Catholic parish in New York's Harlem. Last week some of his own segregation-minded flock went over his head to the Pope to protest against Rummel's "strange new doctrine." In a letter to Pius XII, the Association of Catholic Laymen of New Orleans asked the Pope to stop Rummel from taking "further...
...Bishop George K. A. Bell of Chicester, England led a group of delegates who thought it wishy-washy. West Germany's Evangelical Lutheran Bishop Hanns Lilje of Hannover sounded off against "trying to be friends with everybody." Also for a tougher document: West Germany's famed Pastor Martin Niemöller. At week's end the Central Committee had passed the report along to a subcommittee and was preparing for decisions on 1) a proposed merger with the 36-year-old International Missionary Council, made up of Protestant regional mission associations throughout the world; 2) "racial...
