[Dialogue] Bishop James K Mathews Obituary

[W. J.]

Well, Don, since neither Google nor the internet was around in 1932, it's not 
surprising that this event escaped being noticed in cyberspace. Maybe a book of 
American history of religions might have a reference. But if it's still under 
copyright it wouldn't have made it into Google's library.

BTW brother Joe was out in Los Angeles trying to break into Hollywood as a movie 
star. Fortunately he saw the light at some point.

An interesting story here:"He had originally intended to study medicine, but his 
brother, Joe, had just returned from the Olympiad of Religions in Los Angeles 
that ran in tandem with the 1932 Olympics, and convinced him to enter the 
clergy. "

There are no references to the "Olympiad of Religions" in Google search, except 
for John Montgomery's reposting of the obituary.  Does anyone have any memory or 
information on that event?
