John Nevin Sayre

Reverend John Nevin Sayre, (February 4, 1884 - September 13, 1977), grandson of US President Woodrow Wilson and brother of US State Department offiicial Francis B. Sayre, was an Episcopal minister, peace activist, and author. He was an active member of the Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR) and helped found the Episcopal Peace Fellowship.

Reputation

Sayre promoted peace and supported concientious objectors throughout the world through magazines he edited (The "World Tomorrow" and "Fellowship"), books that he wrote, and various peace organizations he belonged to or founded.

Hiss Case

Whittaker Chambers's wife Esther Shemitz worked for Sayre on the staff of "The World Tomorrow" magazine during the 1920s. Later, Sayre's brother Francis had Alger Hiss reporting to him at the State Department, then declined to testify on Hiss's behalf.
