               <salute>Dear <rs ref="#tillich_person_id__1928" type="person">Dr. Tillich</rs>:</salute>
            </opener>
            <p>In behalf of the Program Committee of the American Psychopathological Association, I
               would like to extend to you an invitation to participate in the Symposium on
                  <q>Anxiety</q> to be held June 3rd and 4th at the Hotel Commodore here in <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__319" type="place">New York City</rs>. The program is
               divided into four sessions: clinical aspects of anxiety, physiological aspects of
               anxiety, social-anthropological aspects of anxiety, and with the experimental
               approach. We would like to have you discuss the following topic:<q>Anxiety-Reducing
                  Agencies in Our Culture.</q> The general thesis of this talk might be aimed at
               pointing out how society attempts to organize institutions such as marriage,
               religion, and customs and more which are intended to reduce the natural sources of
               anxiety, and to indicate to what extend these institutions succeed in their general
               purpose. While this thesis is what the Committee would like to have you discuss, you
               are, of course, free to propose any other special aspect of the problem that might
               appeal to you. These papers should be approximately forty-five minutes in length.</p>
            <p>The previous symposia have been published and we are planning to publish this one
               too, together with the discussion that arises during the course of this meeting.
               Would you kindly let us know whether or not you can participate in this symposium at
               your earliest convenience?</p>
            <p>Thank you very much.</p>
            <closer>
               <salute>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>
