...Church, which is in the theatrical district and whose congregation, according to a church spokesman, is "concerned with the same things that Joan and David are." The nuptials were performed by the Rev. Thomas Lee Hayes, 35, executive director of the Manhattan-based Episcopal Peace Fellowship. Hayes chose the Anglican Church of Canada's Book of Common Prayer instead of the American text. The Canadian version, Hayes explained, "has some phrases that I consider more beautiful, and also it was a nice way of remembering those in exile in Canada" -presumably U.S. draft dodgers hiding out north...
...headed by Phillips Petroleum of the U.S. and including Petrofina of Belgium, Italy's state-owned oil company AGIP, and a string of individual British investors.

Nick Stacey, 40, has wheeled a beauty queen around town in a cart to publicize a church benefit, opened a coffee bar and canteen for teenagers, and instituted bingo games for their elders. More seriously, his 14-man staff has started a housing service for indigents, a suicide emergency center, and a host of other useful counseling services. But even...
Died. The Rt. Rev. Joost de Blank, 59, former Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town; of a stroke; in London. Arriving in South Africa in 1957, the Dutch-born prelate raged against apartheid, calling for an end to the government's racist policies, opening his cathedral doors to all races, criticizing the Dutch Reformed Church for its failure to denounce apartheid-all of which stirred an uproar that did not subside until he moved to London in 1963 as Canon of Westminster Abbey...
