...Honolulu last week, 1,300 bishops, priests and laymen of the Protestant Episcopal Church met under Presiding Bishop Henry Knox Sherrill for their 58th triennial general convention-the first held outside the U.S. continent. The site was the result of controversy: Houston, originally chosen, had been rejected for its racial segregation. But controversy continued to break out at the convention itself...
Actually, there is little reason why Harvard can not retain Dupuy, at least for another year. The triennial shift of the ROTC staff is automatic only if unchallenged. Many schools, for various reasons, have requested the Army to extend a man's tour of duty and have had success. If the Harvard administration asked the Army to keep Dupuy here, especially with the new program in effect, it is almost certain that the request would be granted. Harvard should act now to help assure the success of a program that could mean a significant change in future military instruction...
...Henry Knox Sherrill, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church. In fact, they were all but burning a hole through his black coat. For the bishop had decided that the eyes of the world were more important, and last week canceled plans to hold the church's 1955 triennial convention in Houston.

The slightest appearance of condoning racial segregation would cast a blight on Episcopalianism in their eyes. Without quite calling an international spade a spade, Bishop Sherrill did his best to explain: "I am convinced...
With Dr. Alfred Kinsey's new book Sexual Behavior in the Human Female almost ready for publication, Missouri Synod Lutherans are preparing a kind of Kinsey report of their own. In 1950 the church's Triennial Convention appropriated $25,000 for a 25-man research team to investigate Biblical references and Christian teaching on marriage and family life and what Lutherans think and do about it. In charge of the survey is 38-year-old Pastor Paul Hansen of St. John's Lutheran Church in Denver, who expects to publish the full report in 1954. Among...
