Rich and rare is the religious fare served up each & every Sunday in Detroit. From his suburban Charity Crucifixion Tower Father Coughlin broadcasts to the nation. In the Episcopal Cathedral Bishop Herman Page holds forth ably. Methodist residents of what they call the "Fourth City" know that Rev. Merton Stacher ("Mert") Rice of mammoth Metropolitan Methodist Church has twice declined a bishopric.

...lunch together, extend a friendly hand to a newcomer and, if he is a Protestant, welcome him into the local Federation of Churches. Lately a newcomer appeared in Detroit. But in all Christian charity many a Detroiter of the cloth found it hard to welcome him sincerely. He was Rev. John Franklyn Norris, loud Texas Baptist who reached fame eight years ago when he was indicted, tried and acquitted of murder.

But instead of selecting some seasoned churchman the Pope picked a simple priest whose years-36-made him the world's youngest archbishop. The priest was Rev.

Jersey City-born, sandy-haired Bishop Kearney was ordained in 1927 in the Lateran Basilica...
Pastor Bradley, who believes there is "a definite trend toward use of the dance in worship," was the first minister to try it in Boston. In Manhattan where religion ferments more vigorously, pious mummery was introduced long ago, notably by Rev. Dr. William Norman Guthrie. Currently Manhattan's religious dancing is provided not in Dr. Guthrie's church of St. Mark's-in-the-Bouwerie but in those which are welcoming stately, white-haired Dancer Ruth St. Denis, 54, good Christian Scientist. Three years ago Miss St. Denis founded a Society for the Spiritual Arts whose...
