Full Circle has a spiritual mystique that is rare in religious urban reform efforts. As a result of Fox's work as archdiocesan coordinator of New York's Spanish Community Action, Full Circle has established affiliates and projects in most of the city's marginal or ghetto areas. The object, says Fox, is not to push through neighborhood improvement projects, but "to show others the riches in themselves"?to inspire the poor to become aware of their own resources and the potential beauty of the urban setting. That process has inspired some notable neighborhood renewals...
...investment income to the conference. Two days later Forman posted the conference's "Black Manifesto" on the door of the headquarters of the Lutheran Church in America; the Lutherans' share of the reparations bill, he said, was $50 million. Finally, he appeared at the New York Archdiocesan chancery to demand $200,000,000 from U.S. Roman Catholics...
...government assistance has forced Catholic educators to consider new solutions, short of closing the schools down altogether. One method is to eliminate lower grades.

Successfully mixed in the new junior high are twelve-and 13-year-olds from four disparate parishes: a black ghetto, a largely middle-class white neighborhood, a Mexican-American neighborhood and a Japanese community where the school enrolls many Buddhists. Similar consolidations have been suggested by a new archdiocesan-education board in Chicago, where ethnic parish lines sometimes place poorly utilized schools within a few blocks of each other...
...unusually long. One reason may be the dissension within the archdiocese between advocates of renewal and more cautious elements, which began even before Ritter's death. In 1965, for example, a group of 30 priests and laymen drew up a sweeping reform program, including the creation of an archdiocesan synod to extend the spirit of the Second Vatican Council. Although sympathetic to the idea, Ritter felt that the reforming priests were going too far, eventually transferred some of them to obscure posts in the see. Apparently uninterested in taking on so demanding and troublesome an assignment, at least...
