                <p>I am enclosing my report in CHRISTIANITY AND CRISIS on the German situation.<note type="ea">Vgl. <rs ref="#tillich_person_id__1928" type="person">Paul Tillich</rs>: <rs type="work" ref="#tillich__AB6TMN6G">Visit
                            to Germany</rs> (1948).</note> This of course is a very short article.
                    So if you think I should send a larger typewritten report to CHURCH WORLD
                    SERVICE, an acknowledgement for their sending me to <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__122" type="place">Germany</rs>, I shall be glad to
                    do it. If you think the enclosed article does the job I should be grateful if
                    you give it in my name to the office of CHURCH WORLD SERVICE.</p>
                <p>May I add that I fully agreed with your paper in <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__554" type="place">Washington</rs> and regretted very much that you could not
                    attend the other meetings. I think the discussion would have been more fruitful
                    if you would ha<supplied>v</supplied>e been present. On Sunday morning I
                    delivered a report on <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__122" type="place">Germany</rs>.</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>
