At the I.C.C.C. convention in the former Admiral Hotel (rechristened by Mclntire the Christian Admiral), Mclntire's performance was that of an evangelical Ed Sullivan. "O.K., now, how many are from Great Britain?" he called, to the delegates. "Now how about Africa? Where's Kenya, Madagascar, Tanzania, the Congo, the Chad? Hong Kong? Here comes Hong Kong! The Philippines! Look at the Philippines!" Mclntire was at his best inveighing against his several enemies, and last week he even unveiled a new one: revolution-minded Christianity. In his address to the session, Mclntire accused new-thinking theological seminaries of "turning out Judases by the thousands. Christ is no longer virgin-born, no longer the Son of God, no longer a sacrifice to satisfy divine justice. Christ has become Antichrist. He has become a leader of revolution, the protagonist of the proletariat."
