Opis: The Duke School of Religion Bulletin, Vol. 4 - Religion Duke School of

Excerpt from The Duke School of Religion Bulletin, Vol. 4: February, 1939

The fourth in the series of Duke Centennial symposia will be held on March 20-21, 1939, and will be devoted to the consideration of "Modern Religious Problems." One session will be given to the problems of the modern pastorate and will be under the direction of Dr. Allan K. Chalmers, pastor of Broadway Tabernacle, New York City. The issues affecting the relation of church and state especially in the totalitarian states will be discussed by Charles E. Raven, Regius Professor of Divinity, Cambridge University, and Canon of Ely. "Religion in the Southern States in the Twentieth Century" will be the subject of an address by Bishop Ivan Lee Holt of the Methodist Episcopal church, South. Con-temporary religious thought in Europe and America will be discussed by Professor Emil Brunner, the distinguished Swiss theologian, now of Princeton Theological Seminary, and Professor R. L. Calhoun of Yale University. Dr. Charles Clayton Morrison, editor of Christian Century, and Dr. H. Paul Douglass, editor of Christendom, will be the speakers at a session devoted to the problem of Christian unity. "The Preacher Looks at the Church" will be the subject of an address by Dr. George A. Buttrick, President of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. At the same meeting a prominent layman will present the view-point of the laity toward organized Christianity.

It is hoped that a large number of the alumni of the School of Religion will return to the campus for this symposium. There has never been, with the exception of the annual meetings at Commencement, a homecoming day, primarily for the alumni of the School of Religion. It had been hoped that the new graduate dormitory would be completed by March 20 so as to accommodate the alumni returning for the symposium. The dormitory, however, will not be finished by that date but arrangements are being made to secure special rates for the alumni in the hotels and rooming houses in the city. Since sixty per cent of the alumni of the School of Religion are now located in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. it is hoped that there will be a large attendance.
