Last week a collection of Songo's sculptures in polished, grey-blue wonderstone (an African soapstone) was on tour in England with a show of African primitives by young students of the Anglican Church's Cyrene school, near Bulawayo in Southern Rhodesia. Among pictures of Biblical scenes, painted in colors as vivid as parrot feathers, and chiseled Christs with kinky hair, the hit of the show was Songo's Prodigal Son. The moving, 15-inch figures of the rich father and dissolute son, like all the Negro artist's carvings, seemed to have in miniature...
...last month two powerful diocesan conventions, New York and Washington, D.C., voted unanimously to ask Bishop Sherrill to move the 1955 triennial to a completely nonsegregated city. Other church members put the case to Bishop Sherrill: this summer the Anglican Congress and the World Council of Churches, meeting in the U.S., would subject the Episcopal Church to especially searching scrutiny by critical Christians from other lands.

That seems to argue a certain durability about it." Cheshire became a Roman Catholic...
...London's dockside district of Stepney at 6:30 pm., once a month the Rev. Cecil Edwyn Young starts making the rounds. Among the cheery, bleary gatherings, he finds some of the best customers for his parish paper at threepence a throw. The customers, in turn, find smiling Anglican Young's publication like no parish paper they ever saw before; it is crammed with up-to-the-minute movie reviews, theater chitchat and interviews with Hollywood stars, usually illustrated by photographs of the star and Interviewer Young. The advertising columns carry out the un-Puritan atmosphere with...
