...radio coverage engrossed the consciousness and conscience of a nation. The pronouncements of official bereavement, the calls for constructive action, for conciliation, for wisdom, all were unexceptionable.

California Psychologist Dr. Paul Morentz believes that it thrives among insecure personalities who are in desperate need of certitude. On the other hand, the Rev. Larry Christianson of Trinity Lutheran Church in San Pedro, Calif., contends that the gifts are "God's answer to the hyperintellectualism of our age" and the cold impersonality of formal worship. Surprisingly, even some Roman Catholic participants at the Dayton conference were cautiously optimistic about the prospect...
