            <opener>TO THE VISITORS OF FRIENDSHIP HOUSE. <salute>Dear Friends:</salute>
            </opener>
            <p>The Executive Committee of Friendship House desires that there be a well-rounded
               program of activities in Friendship House. To that end the following has been
               accepted by the Committee. </p>
            <p>Every second Monday, beginning Monday, Jan. 27th, a meeting will take place in
               Friendship House where religious discussions of general interest will be discussed.
               Professors of Union Theological Seminary and other outstanding religious leaders will
               lead the discussion after a few words of introduction. Problems of the <q>Philosophy
                  of Religion</q>, of <q>Religious Education</q>, of Church Membership, of religious
               ethics in the present world, of State and Church in <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__736" type="place">Europe</rs> and <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__684" type="place">America</rs> will be dealt with. (compare the enclosed program). Every visitor of
               Friendship House, whether within or without a special religious tradition is urgently
               invited to participate in these discussions. It is hoped that the Americans visiting
               Friendship House will also participate in these programs. These meetings will start
               at 8 P.M. and last as long as there are questions, but not beyond 10 P.M. The
               discussion will be held in English but there will be usually a possibility of having
               questions translated into other languages.</p>
            <p>The one purpose of these meetings is to introduce to emigres the religious structure
               and activities of the churches in this country. The other purpose is to find in
               common search a religious interpretation of the present world situation and the fate
               of the individual as determined by it.</p>
            <closer>
               <salute>Very sincerely yours</salute>

                     <p>Paul Tillich (20. August 1886 – 22. Oktober 1965) war ein deutscher evangelischer Theologe und Religionsphilosoph. Nach seiner Tätigkeit als Feldprediger im Ersten Weltkrieg lehrte er an verschiedenen Universitäten in Deutschland, bis er 1933 emigrieren musste und in den USA wirkte, unter anderem in New York, Harvard und Chicago. Tillich entwickelte eine Theologie der Kultur und verstand Religion als das „was uns unbedingt angeht“. In seiner „Systematic Theology“ formulierte er die Methode der Korrelation und deutete Gott als „Macht des Seins“. Seine Arbeiten verbinden Theologie, Philosophie und Existenzdenken und hatten großen Einfluss auf das religiöse Denken der Moderne.</p>
