Meeting in New York City last month, the general board of the National Council of Churches entered into soul-searching discussion of the role its members should play in the nation's civil rights struggle. Were pulpit pronouncements enough? Could the Christian conscience be satisfied by mere pious expressions of sympathy for the Negro? One who thought not was the Rev. Dr. Eugene Carson Blake, executive head of the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A.'s general assembly, former president of the National Council and one of the U.S.'s most respected clergymen (TIME cover...
...body belongs to us," said a former mayor of Monte Alto. "Even if she is not a saint, she is still something for the people to cling to." Recently, 5,000 citizens turned out in a mass demonstration against Constantino. "Respect Our Faith: Don't Steal Our Soul," read the banners.

It was her remarkable innocence, says Prescott, and her implicit trust in her "ghostly advisers" that caused her to fall under the influence of the villainous Torquemada, who established the Spanish Inquisition...
...larger sense, Read speaks as one of the millions of "alienated souls" of the modern world for whom heaven and hell do not exist, and who must look to their own origins for the polarities of the spirit. "The need for roots exists; the need which unappeased drives the human heart to paralysis and self-destruction." Read is an atheist of religious temperament who has achieved the rare feat of transferring his natural reverence from God to God's creation without falling into current humanistic idolatries about man. He hates political man and distrusts all human groups above...
