...Thank you for your story on the work of my colleague, Professor Altizer. It is an accurate introduction. But no brief statement can convey the scope of reading, reflection and real involvement in our world that have provided the substance of Professor Altizer's views. His work is, of course, still in progress. But his perceptive judgments and forthright claims have helped to distinguish what is weak and pointless in theology, and to discern a new form of the Christian heritage adequate for the present.

Thank you for making this absurdity clear to all who did not know Jon. We must work to bring true American justice to Alabama if Jon is not to have died in vain...
