                <p><rs ref="#tillich_person_id__1928" type="person">Prof. Tillich</rs>, before his
                    departure to <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__122" type="place">Germany</rs>, asked
                    me to write to you on behalf of <rs ref="#tillich_person_id__5092" type="person">Dr. Anita Orienter</rs>.</p>
                <p><rs ref="#tillich_person_id__5092" type="person">Dr. Orienter</rs> has come to
                    the <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__684" type="place">U. S.</rs> about two weeks
                    ago. She seeks a teaching position for fall, but also some work during the
                    summer. Her problem is that she is not alone but that she has to take care of
                        <rs type="person">her mother</rs> who is about 70 years old – healthy and
                    active. It was my idea that <rs ref="#tillich_person_id__5092" type="person">Dr.
                        Orienter</rs> may work in a camp as a teacher (She has taught French and
                    Spanish for many years in <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__1540" type="place">Brazil</rs>) without renumeration and may take her mother along for the two
                    summer months. But I do not know wether this is feasible.</p>
                <p>I should be grateful for any advices you may give <rs ref="#tillich_person_id__5092" type="person">Dr. Orienter</rs>. Is there a
                    chance that you come to <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__319" type="place">New
                        York</rs> in the near future? Or is there somebody of the American Friends
                    Service Committee whom <rs ref="#tillich_person_id__5092" type="person">Dr.
                        Orienter</rs> could see in <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__319" type="place">New
                        York</rs>? May I mention that <rs ref="#tillich_person_id__5092" type="person">Dr. Orienter</rs> is Catholic.</p>
                <p>I would suggest that you contact <rs ref="#tillich_person_id__5092" type="person">Dr. Orienter</rs> directly. Her address is: Hotel Paris, West End Avenue

                     <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>
