<div dir="ltr">David Scott here --<div>I really can't image such a discussion taking place -- certainly not a serious discussion. Summer 66 was the first summer program with a general audience (students, teachers, church folk) [our first summer program was 65 and we only had college students. By the way I have written a history of the start of the summer programs starting with 65 college work/study program.] Back to the Tillich issue -- initially RS-I was taught on a week-night format (I believe it was originally 9 weeks). There was two session per section, each sections having two study papers -- example: God section -- Bultman and Niebuhr (The Nature and Existence of God). The Christ sessions used Knox's The Event and the Story for the first session and Tillich in the second (I may have them reversed - Tillich first and Knox second). It could be that there was some discussion regarding which of the papers would be used when we went to the week-end format. Still I can not imagine it was ever considered that we use Knox instead of Tillich.</div><div><br></div><div>Just a bit more history -- in the fall of 1962 or 63, Patricia and I participated in a week-night RS-I taught in Evanston. I only remember Slicker and Donna McCleskey as teachers. Also, I believe that the Peseks were in that RS-I. (I must confess that I did not make it through the entire 9 weeks -- I thought "I'm in seminary and I dont' need this crazy theology in RS-I; Patricia made it through the entire course. I was not until fall of 1964, when Pat and I moved to the Westside, that I had the complete RS-I. It was, of course, a week-end course and the Allens (Steve and Linda), the Fishels (Bob and Judy), and the Scotts (Pat and David). I can still remember Steve and I walking around the old chapel after the Saturday morning session and my saying over and over again, "Steve, it can't be as simple as accepting your acceptance -- it can't be that simple." Steve just kept saying, "It is that simple -- you have to accept your acceptance."</div><div><br></div><div>This is a lengthy way to say that Tillich was firmly set in the "canon" by the fall of 1964 -- and I do not remember Tillich ever being questioned as a part of the RS-I curriculum.</div><div><br></div><div>Hey, Len -- good to hear from you.</div><div><br></div><div>Grace and peace,</div><div>david scott</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Apr 26, 2021 at 10:32 PM Len Hockley via OE <<a href="mailto:oe@lists.wedgeblade.net">oe@lists.wedgeblade.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
