The Advent Papers

In 1943 a series of educational publications known as The Advent Papers was inaugurated, and in time as many as 24,000 copies of these pamphlets were sold in a single year, "a remarkable achievement for one parish in the field of education." These papers covered a wide range of subjects in the field of religion, and were planned and commissioned by an editorial board which included Dr. John D. Wild, Professor of Philosophy, Harvard University; Dr. Gordon W. Allport, Professor of Psychology at Harvard; the Very Reverend John B. Coburn, D.D., Dean and Professor of Pastoral Theology, Episcopal Theological School, Cambridge; Miss Ina May Greer, Research Associate in Psychiatry, Massachusetts General Hospital; Miss Marjorie Gregg; Mr. Ezra Merrill; and the Rector of the Advent, The Very Reverend Samuel Whitney Hale. The authors of these booklets included Alan Paton, C. S. Lewis, Princess Ileana of Romania, and others notable enough to sell so many of the works that the church staff finally could no longer handle the volume and the enterprise passed into the hands of the publishing house, Morehouse-Gorham, and finally from them to the Forward Movement Publications.
