...could make superb use of any idea or thing. At Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, he put "secular saints" in the stained-glass windows: Albert Einstein, John Glenn, Thurgood Marshall, Paul Tillich, Martin Buber and others. Early in his episcopate he read that Duke Ellington had composed a sacred concert for jazz, and promptly arranged for the Duke to give its world premiere at the cathedral. Nobody asked Ellington to join any memorial service to the bishop. But when the Duke heard there would be such a gathering at St. Clement's Church in Manhattan, he came...
Theologically, too, the Southern Baptists have changed since the days of the Scopes trial. Baptist theological students now study Kierkegaard and Tillich at six major seminaries (the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth is the world's largest denominationally affiliated institution of its kind, with a student body of 3,470).

In this collection, at least, Tillich is one of the few male thinkers to emerge relatively unscathed...
...theological superstars like Reinhold Niebuhr and Paul Tillich hammered out modern definitions of God and the Christian life in Manhattan's Union Theological Seminary. But Union has fallen on troubled days lately, caught up in inflation, problems of faculty and student recruitment and divergent opinions on the direction the school should be taking [TIME, Oct. 9, 1972]. One more sign of that uncertainty appeared this month, when Episcopal Bishop J. Brooke Mosley, 58, after 3½ years as Union's president, announced his decision to resign...
