Rev. Fritchman Speaks
On 'Gadfly' Religion
''The God of the pre-Darwinian and pre-Einstein world 15 dead
beyond recovery and resurrection: no genteel ambiguity and learn
ed juggling of medieval or transcendental theology will long post
pone the day of judgment."
The Rev. Stephen H. -Fritchman. minister of First Unitarian
church, Los Angeles, and former editor of the official publication
of the church, the "Christian Register.' spoke thusly at a meeting
nf the Unitarian Fellowship here at the Labor temple. His topic
was "The Role of a 'Gadfly' Religion."
"Modern science has closed the I

to keep an open church." He then added "It was true in
The Rev. Mr. Fritchman began
his talk by saying that religion
has many good roles to play in
a man's life, but that "by criti
cizing our own lives, and our
world of human relations, we
transcend our world and exercise
our freedom as men." Pointing
nut that the gadfly function of
religion has had a supernatural
authority, the speaker said "the
endemic sickness of our time is
conformity and silence, yet this
i? a sickness that can destroy
us . , ."
"The official and established
religions have, with rare excep
tions, contributed to the sopori
fic process- the deadening of
man's critical faculties, his chief
source of advancement and free
dom." Quoting Eric Fromm's
book, "The Sane Society" to the
effect that religious enthusiasm
for the past 200 years has been
found in movements which have
broken with traditional religion,
he continued by saying "The
worst enemies of Jesus, Buddha,
Mohammed, and Roger Williams
were not atheists ' but ordained
clergy at the altar." He said
Fromm concluded that "relig
ion for millions of fine people
is inimical to human progress,
in its organized form it seems
to have supported docility, con
formity and submission to arbi
trary authority."
"It is unhappily true that pro
fessional religious leaders have
all too often an occupational
fear of the thinking man, or the
reforming man," he said. "It is
no accident that conservative
governments in all eras, includ
ing our own, have recognized
this fact and found the priestly
class invaluable allies in main
taining the status quo."
The Rev. Mr. Fritchman quot
ed also from Professor Harvey
Seifert of the USC School of
Religion who wrote recently
that social liberals "seem con
tent with tiny tinkerings at the
social structure" and quoted him
as saying that the "neo-orthodox
in Protestantism put their em
phasis on the sovereignty of
God interpreted in such a way
that the nerve of human effort
is severed; they reject the role
of human reason, they neglect
the human potentialities for
goodness, so that we end up
with an ethics of accommoda
tion." The Rev. Mr. Fritchman
then added that "If we teach the
evil of human nature, and stress
a deep pessimism about man's
powers, as the neo-orthodox do,
we leave men and women with
out courage or hope to remedy
their plight . . . they end up
leaving the matter in the hands
of a transcendent God who
seems to have a time table of
his own, strangely unrelated to
the prevailing misery of man
... I would add to Dr. Seiferfs
fine words my own conviction
that theology, orthodox and lib
eral, needs a gadfly these days."
The speaker said that "em
. ployment of critical imagination
is one of the hallmarks of our
being human, and without it we
are but half-men. The demo
cratic way of life calls for whole
men and it cannot function
without them. Only the whole
man is a moral man."
The Rev. Mr. Fitchman said
that authentic religion gives man
a "divine impatience" and add
ed "the danger in past centuries
was that men would become
slaves: in our time it is that
man will become robots, that
we will lose that which makes
us most truly human, our power
of thought and feeling."
He spoke of the recent Gallup
poll which showed that the
American p-ople are ready for
far more progressive legislation
and action than their congress
gave them in the session just
ended, said "No salvation in re
ligion or politics or education

Mr. Fritchman was introduced

followed the talk.
Man Files Suit
In Circuit Court
After Jail Release
Jesse F. Dressier, Old Stage
rd., Jacksonville, has filed a
damage suit in circuit court
against Roby L Isaacs, Nate H.
Smith, and Iris Smith, who he
claims caused him to be wrong
fully imprisoned in the Jackson
county jail.
Dressier is asking $20,000 gen
eral damages, $20,000 punitive
and axemplary damages, $2,000
special damages, and costs.
Released from Jail
In the suit, the plaintiff
charges that on or about Aug.
27, 1954, the defendants wrong
fully caused him to be imprison
ed in the Jackson county jail,
and that by order of the circuit
court he was released Sept. 9, !
1954. He claims legal costs of
obtaining the release were
$2,000.
On a separate cause of action
Dressier alleges that on or about
Aug. 27, 1954, the defendants
falsely accused him of being an
insane or mentally ill person,
causing a warrant to be issued
and himself to be placed in the
county jail.
Maks Claim
On both counts, the plaintiff
claims he suffered "great mental
pain and anguish and was
caused undue humiliation, all to
his damage in the sum of $20,
000." The law firm of Roberts, Kel
lington and Branchiield rep
resents the plaintiff.

one can possess ... a source of
love, comfort and strength which
is sorely needed in these troubled

can give this gift of Faith, to our
children. If we want them to
. know the joy of Faith tomorrow
... we must give our children the
gift of Faith today."
