...William Thomas Manning, small, dry, astute Episcopal Bishop of New York, has always been a leader in the church unity movement. Bishop Manning has his enemies, but those enemies have hardly ever caught him out on a point of theology or canon law. Last fortnight Dr. Manning threw the great weight of his shrewd experience against the "Proposed Concordat" drawn up last year as a means of eventually uniting the Episcopal and Presbyterian Churches (TIME...
...Bishop Manning, head of the Episcopal Church in New York City, declared in a sermon, "Our sympathies, our moral support, and whatever ever aid we can rightly give at this time must be with those who at untold cost are upholding the principles and ideals of human life in which we believe." President Seymour of Yale warned that "a defeat, complete or even partial, of the Western democracies in the present war must be regarded as a disaster of the first magnitude for this country."

...prelate is a greater friend of labor than Bishop Sheil. Last winter he gave the American Newspaper Guild his full support in its strike against the Chicago Hearst newspapers, and last summer he sat with John L. Lewis at a C. I. O. rally for Chicago packing workers (TIME, July 24). Bishop Sheil is 51, a year younger than was Archbishop Mundelein when he was made a Cardinal. Auxiliary bishops sometimes, but not always, succeed their superiors. Last week most Chicago Catholics hoped that this one would...
