...overlapping words convey an impression of unity and division. They were spoken last Sunday, during the 74th annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, as they are almost every week, at the Church of the Holy Apostles in Norfolk, Va. It is the only U.S. congregation officially listed as both a Roman Catholic and Episcopal church. Anglicanism kept a Catholic style of worship when it broke with Rome in the 16th century. Now, except for using separate altars at the consecration, parishioners recite the same liturgies, Catholic one week, Episcopal the next. From classes in religious education to church socials...

...this was more than apparent last week, as the party held its 74th annual meeting at Salt Lake, a desolate flat on the edge of Calcutta. Eighteen months ago, the flat was jammed with thousands of Bangladesh refugees. Last week between 30,000 and 40,000 party regulars met in a $700,000 tent city as princely as a Mogul encampment. Party Leader Indira Gandhi was housed in an elegant $107,000 "hut," which aides hastened to explain would serve as a guest house for a housing project to be built on the site.
