Highest Bishop Muller tried to calm his flock by suspending temporarily the "non-Aryan clause," but non-Nazi pastors rallied 3,000 strong to denounce the Nazi "German Christians." Risking reprisals from Nazi Storm Troopers, they read out from 3,000 pulpits throughout the Reich a stinging protest directed, by implication, at the Nazi State itself. "Heathendom has penetrated into the bosom of our church," they read. "Many Christians have to submit their consciences to human leaders, in contradiction of the essence of the Church...
Going even further than the text of the 3,000 pastors' protest, the rector of Berlin's fashionable Jesus Christ Church cried: "When the government of the Church compels its preachers to proclaim that all other nations are inferior in comparison with the Nordic Germanic race, it is guilty of an arrogance and an uncharitableness that has no parallel in history.

"This leaves us the Revolutionary ideal of the emancipation of mankind from the Capitalist grasp as the only inspiration for a really vital art in the present and future." I protest, as a connoisseur of prophecy. Mr. Philbrick can see into the future no farther than John Doe and I, and anyone who cared to predict the exact opposite would be just as right as Mr. Philbrick.
