In the interests of Christian history, I attended Union Theological Seminary when Paul Tillich, German Theologian, had just retired though Reinhold Niebuhr was still teaching; and I met him. When I went back to New York University to complete the Ph.D. program in philosophy, I did my M.A. thesis, neophyte that I was, on Tillich's concept of the religious experience.
My roommate at Union was a young man slated to be a minister in Troy, New York. We had some discussions on theology. I don't know where he is, but I can almost guarantee that he became a minister in the Troy, New York area. I found it hard to stay in the Union dorms that one year I attended Union, but he may remember some things. Nice guy.
My sister, Sheila, always was my mainstay. Whatever, she believed that I with her help would radically change the world! She--for some reason that I could never figure out--gave my letters to her to the Episcopal Church, probably Trinity Church in New York or St. Bartholomew's Church on Park Avenue, where she was a member during the times prior to her untimely death due to illness (She committed suicide only when she knew she was shortly to die), during my first marriage to Barbara Ann Ogle.
