...bears ancient and august titles: Ecumenical Patriarch and Archbishop of the "New Rome" in Constantinople, the mother church of Eastern Orthodoxy since the 4th century. He is the symbolic leader of the world's 85 million Orthodox Christians. Yet when His Holiness Demetrios I presides over the Sunday Eucharist at the Church of St. George in Istanbul, the giant chandeliers cast their feeble light across ranks of empty pews. The congregation numbers only a dozen or so worshipers, most of them elderly. The historic see, once the center of half the Christian world, is dying...

When a new Patriarch had to be chosen in 1972, the government exercised its power and vetoed the strongest candidates. That is why the 58-year-old Demetrios, a man with the qualities of a simple parish priest, was selected, though he was the junior archbishop. He thereby assumed jurisdiction over millions of Greeks in the West and became "first among equals" of the Orthodox patriarchs...

...Administration didn't give up on him. The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Omaha, Daniel Sheehan, telephoned at White House request, asking Zorinsky to cast his vote for the treaties.

...Episcopal bishop of Springfield, Ill., and Bishop Francisco J. Pagtakhan of the Philippine Independent Church, which is furious with its U.S. cousins for ordaining women priests. Without the customary three, the consecrations are under a cloud. There have been exceptions, but only in emergencies. Augustine, who became the first Archbishop of Canterbury in 597, was told by the Pope to consecrate bishops by himself because there were no others to assist him in England...

That left Anglican Bishop Mark Pae of Taejon, South Korea, a foe of women priests, who says that he agreed to consecrate the new bishops last November without realizing that a full-fledged schism was involved. On Jan. 16 he got an urgent telegram from F. Donald Coggan, the Archbishop of Canterbury. When he phoned Coggan, says Pae, the Archbishop "did not put any pressure on me" but "explained the gravity of the matter." The next day one of the bishops-to-be, C. Dale Doren of Pittsburgh, arrived in Taejon and spent a fruitless week trying...
