Résumé du livre

Letters feature occasional observations related to politics, changes in society, Congressman Mendel Rivers, and religion: "I do not like things said and done by Bishop Pike and Bishop Hines," a reference to James Albert Pike (1913-1969), outspoken Bishop of California, known for his socially progressive views on many theological and social issues, and John Elbridge Hines (1910-1997), elected as Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church in 1965, who was known as a theological conservative and social liberal; letters discussing the controversy over an infamous cover story in the 8 April 1966 issue of the news magazine, Time, titled, "Is God Dead?"; and opinions on younger members of the clergy. Alumni survey [1967] conducted by the University of the South includes detailed information on education, callings and addresses of Rev. Thomas and his children.
