5 Theologians Speak
At RILW Meetings
Evening panel discussions, two Chapel services, fireside dis
cussions in living units, and a dramatic presentation in Schwab
Auditorium highlighted the local Religion-in-Life Week observance
last week.
Five eminent Jewish and Protestant theologians from all parts
of the United States participated in RILW, which was sponsored
by the local Inter-Religious Coun
cil. The theme was "This Meets
Your Need."
The leaders for the week were
Dr. Albert T. Mollegen, professor
of Christian Ethics at the Protes
tant Episcopal Theological Sem
inary, Alexandria, Va.; Dr. John
Dillenberger, acting, head of the
Department of Religion, Columbia
University; Rabbi Arthur J. Lely
veld, national director of Hillel
Foundations; Dr. Andrew Tod
Roy, personnel secretary of the
board of foreign missions, Presby
terian Church, and Will Herberg,
noted for his work in labor and
social research, and theology.
Unify Knowledge
The theses of nearly all the dis
cussions were the need for faith.
Man's deepest need is to be met
in the depths of his aloneness in
which he must make the major
decisions of life, Dr. Mollegen
said, in the opening address.
At another time Dr. Mollegen
pointed out that the purpose of
education is to unify and inte
grate all the various kinds of
knowledge offered students.
Purpose beyond self is the pri
mary need of man because only
by commitment to something
higher than himself can man find
a mearling for life, Rabbi Lely
veld maintained.
