...rather than as workable guidelines of behavior. The Rev. David H. C. Read, pastor of Manhattan's Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, points out that in facing many problems of life the behavior of the Christian and the humanist might well be identical. Bertrand Russell and the Archbishop of Canterbury, for example, could equably serve on the same committee to improve housing. "The distinction is not in their action," Read argues. "It is in their motivation and ultimate conviction on the meaning of life." This suggests that the committed Christian who is immersed in the secular world will also...
Died. Paul J. Hallinan, 56, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Atlanta, one of the South's foremost advocates of social and religious liberalism; of acute hepatitis; in Atlanta. Hallinan's first act after his appointment in 1962 was to order desegregation of schools and other Catholic institutions under his jurisdiction; in 1965, he sent priests and nuns to the Selma, Ala., civil rights march, and earlier this month he bluntly advised Atlanta's citizens to open their neighborhoods "so Negroes can exercise the right of every American to live where he wishes...

Cooke, who has both a warm Irish wit and an M.A. in social work, is regarded in church circles as a prelate whose style and approach will not differ strikingly from those of his predecessor. Reared in The Bronx, the son of Irish immigrants (his father was a chauffeur and construction worker), Cooke was ordained to the priesthood in 1945. In 1957, Spellman...
...Pope undoubtedly weighed the merits of many clerics-including Archbishop John Maguire, 63, who has administered the see of New York since December-before making the choice. Perhaps the most persuasive factor was that Cardinal Spellman, shortly before his death, wrote a letter to Paul recommending Cooke as his successor...
