| | Charles Hartshorne |
 | | Charles Hartshorne, a philosopher, theologian and educator who wrote more than 20 books and 100 articles in a lifelong mission to prove that God was a participant in cosmic evolution rather than the supreme composer, died on Tuesday at his home in Austin, Tex. He was 103. |
 | | Charles Hartshorne, born on June 5, 1897, in Kittanning, Pa., was descended from Quakers through his father, an Episcopal minister. |
 | | The Hartshorne mission, Dr. Loehr said, was no less than "saving face for the word God in the 20th century." Philosophers in the positivist and analytical schools, which have dominated the discussion, not to mention more recent postmodernists and deconstructionists, had little use for the deity. |
