Perhaps the most consistently effective of these Daniels with doctorates is a rapid-fire minister of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod who in light-hearted moments used to sign himself "Marty Marty." A hard-traveling (20,-000 miles so far this year) graduate of Missouri's Concordia Seminary, the Rev. Dr. Martin Emil Marty, 35, is an associate editor of the Christian Century and founding pastor of the big Church of the Holy Spirit in Elk Grove Village, 111., a Chicago suburb.-His own literary productivity is positively staggering: in the past five years he has written more than...
...Before that, John had been a puzzling Pope-openly warm and friendly to people, but curiously disappointing and conservative in many of his acts. His apostolic constitution, Veterum Sapientfi, was a brusque warning to those who would remove Latin from its place of primacy in the church. The 1960 Synod of Rome, a highly publicized effort to bring new spiritual vitality to the clergy of the city, produced only a series of restrictive and uninteresting rules...
Ribicoff's effort nonetheless got some warm response. Andover's Headmaster John M. Kemper, whose own rich school would hardly benefit, supported Ribicoff because "the problem is to get all the kids well taught regardless of the type of school." The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, which runs the nation's second-biggest parochial school system, noted that it already supports tax deductions for part of the tuition at church-supported schools...
Olson's book is an analysis of religious lessons that have been used by four representative Protestant* groups: the Unitarians and Universalists, the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A., the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, and the fundamentalist churches that sub scribe to the materials issued by the independent Scripture Press. Olson makes clear that all four church groups are officially and staunchly opposed to anti-Semitism and anti-Catholicism, and that most religious texts do provide a healthy antidote to prejudice. Nonetheless, he argues, there still exist lessons that can subtly evoke unfavorable attitudes to other faiths in pupils...
Despite his Romish ways, Father Kreinheder, 57, has a deeply rooted Lutheran faith; his father was a Missouri Synod pastor, and his mother's family founded a Lutheran congregation near Waynesboro, Va., before the American Revolution. After serving as the skipper of a subchaser during World War II, Kreinheder increasingly felt a vocation to the church, but found the opportunities within U.S. Lutheranism too restricted. Then he read (in TIME, Aug. 2, 1948) about the famed French Protestant religious community at Taiz...
