Rev Dr Grant Defies Bishop as Picketed Church Faces Crisis
The Rev Dr Percy Stickney Grant at the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Ascension in New York defended his humanistic religious views amid a church crisis sparked by his sermons.

Bishop Manning pending a recantation or resignation, Grant asserted his views remain unchanged for 46 years and argued the church should speak to mankind everywhere.
