            <p>Thank you for your letter<note type="ea">liegt nicht vor</note> of November 7th. concerning
               <rs ref="#tillich_person_id__1245" type="person">Mr. Rudolph M. Morris</rs>.</p>
            <p>I have known <rs ref="#tillich_person_id__1245" type="person">Mr. R. Morris</rs> since 1926 when I was Professor at the Philosophical Faculty
            of the Technical Academy in <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__126" type="place">Dresden</rs> 
            (<rs ref="#tillich_place_id__122" type="place">Germany</rs>) In these years he was wrestling with the
            problem of his remaining a successful businessman or going the hard road of scholarly life. He decided
            for the latter, went as an exiled to Southern <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__161" type="place">France</rs>
            and continued in this direction. At the same time he was so impressed by the recent movement in French
            Catholicism that he converted to Catholicism and became aquainted with many leading Catholics. I always
            was in touch with him and tried to help while he was in <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__161">France</rs>
            as much as I could which was of course very little.</p>
            <p><rs ref="#tillich_person_id__1245" type="person">Mr. Morris</rs> has proved that he takes the 
            religious and philosophical problems very seriously. His writings show that he is able to deal with
            them productively and with a great amount of intellectual education and precise thinking.</p>
            <p>His wife whom I know as long as himself is a very clever and energetic personality,
               able to give psychological guidance to people.</p>

                     <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>
