When Prince Charles was 17, back in 1965, Queen Elizabeth summoned a conference to plan his future. Her husband Prince Philip, her Prime Minister Harold Wilson, her Archbishop of Canterbury Michael Ramsey and a pride of other notables soon agreed on the prince's schooling and military service. But then what? The youth being trained to become King of England might find himself blocked from that or any other position for decades...
...controversial movement got its start at Fife's Southside Church on the second anniversary of the assassination of Roman Catholic Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero of El Salvador. The archbishop, because of his bold advocacy of the poor in his country, was gunned down in 1980 while saying Mass in San Salvador. Since then, Sanctuary has drawn support from various religious bodies, including American Baptists, Presbyterians, United Methodists and the United Church of Christ. The movement has also been endorsed by Conservative Judaism's Rabbinical Assembly. Pastors and congregation members who have sheltered refugees within their churches maintain that when these...
Encouraged by the interest stirred and conscious of the criticism, the bishops' committee sought suggestions for the second draft of their work at hearings held from Wall Street to Appalachia. This week the committee, chaired by Archbishop Rembert Weakland of Milwaukee, is releasing a revised Pastoral Letter on Catholic Social Teaching and the U.S. Economy.

But it does not soften the tone or thrust of the bishops' main message. The new draft, like the first...
...ruthless man of fiery oratory and charismatic good looks, he was the standard bearer for his country's most extreme anti-Communist elements. There were rumors aplenty (but no proof) that he had links to right-wing death squads and that he was involved in the 1980 murder of Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero. Just one year ago, he nearly defeated Christian Democrat Jose Napoleon Duarte in a closely fought presidential election. But last week the political career of Roberto ("Major Bob") D'Aubuisson, 42, was at least temporarily eclipsed, when he resigned as head of the ultra-rightist Nationalist Republican...
...divestment from corporations that continue to participate in the apartheid economy, was not initiated in the Adams pool, or after a Quincy bong-a-thon. All the legitimate voices of the South African liberation struggle: Nelson and Winnie Mandela, Walter Sisulu, Oliver Tambo of the African National Congress, Archbishop Huddlestone and Rev. Carstons of the International Defense and Aid Fund, Desmond Tutu, Allen Boesak of the United Democratic Front, and the brutally murdered Steve Biko, have repeatedly called for the total isolation and ostracism of South Africa...
