Understandably, Glide's unconventional ways have brought the church a large measure of criticism, but its activities are strongly backed by Methodist Bishop Donald Tippett, a member of the foundation's board, and by community leaders such as Willie Brown, San Francisco's first Negro representative in the California state assembly. Durham's main defense of Glide's missionary ways is that they work, and that the church is loved and respected by thousands of deviates and dropouts who otherwise have nothing but contempt for organized religion.

...artsy enough to have been dreamed up by a gaggle of interior decorators. But even its mistakes suggest the variety and vitality of Methodism, and plenty of its older but doubtful readers concede that the magazine appeals to the young in a unique and valuable way.

His salary as a choir singer was only $600 a year, and he supplemented his income by working as a farm hand for 90 an hour, pedaling his bicycle twelve miles a day to and from work.

Bishop Paul Martin of Houston, for example, argues that Methodism has its hands full attempting to integrate the Negro Central Jurisdiction into previously all-white church structures and carrying out a scheduled 1968 merger with the Evangelical United Brethren, a Methodist-like body of German origin...
Meanwhile, the birthday bandwagon keeps rolling. In the next six months half a dozen new recordings of Tippett's works will be released-equivalent to his entire previous output on disks. This summer the Leicestershire, Bath and Edinburgh festivals will all feature special programs of Tippett's music. In July he will visit the U.S. to serve as composer-in-residence at the Aspen Music Festival in Colorado. At 60, the late-blooming composer is at the peak of his creative career. And, as Britten says, he has a lot more notes to write...
