Niebuhr Calls Religion’s Resources for a World Crisis
The Reverend Dr. Reinhold Niebuhr spoke at an Interfaith Assembly on Religion's Resources in a Critical Age. He linked the world crisis to the failure to form a worldwide community, and to despair from inadequate creeds. He cited a Nazi-era letter from a boy executed for his hope of freedom. The event included lunch at the Deinery, introductions by Joan Leff, invocation by Chaplain Rice, and hymns by the St. Paul's Chapel Choir.
