Abstract
Samuel McCrea Cavert introduced the Theological Discussion Group to American churchmen in 1936. “They are eager to identify themselves with the whole stream of life that has come down through the Church,” he testified of Van Dusen and company. “Nothing less than such a corporate and catholic Christianity is regarded as an adequate expression of religion in the modern world.” Cavert noted his friends’ “reaction” against liberalism (he also didn’t specify what kind) and their “rethinking” of the social gospel. In pursuit of holistic formulations of Christian faith, Cavert reported that Realists were finding “much common ground with contemporary Catholicism.” His friends “yearned” for what Cavert called “Evangelical Catholicism” or “Catholic Protestantism.”1
