He took his understanding of the Social Gospel to an activist level beyond what most clergy do. His involvement in politics and labor led to his dismissal as an ordained clergyman in the 1950's, about the time he was called before the House Un-american Acitivities Committee. It was not his first accusation of being a communist. His ordination was reinstated before his death. ; 9.13 X 6.57 X 1.11 inches; 317 pages
