...churches themselves: "Is your church seriously considering its relation to other churches in the light of Our Lord's prayer that we may be sanctified in the truth and that we may all be one? ... Great masses of people in many parts of the world are hungry for bread, and are compelled to live in conditions which mock their human worth. Does your church speak and act against such injustice? . . . Does your congregation live for itself, or for the world around it and beyond it? ... Do you forgive one another as Christ forgave you?

...parish church and build a new one, bold enough to design the blueprint himself. When Elwin's parishioners fell ill, "his Rev" (as he was called) was their doctor; when his wife had children, he acted as midwife. He had amiable eccentricities, such as cutting the Communion bread "into small squares, some for the communicants and some for his canaries."

He was promising only an Assembly decision next week; the Senate would not get to the debate until the summer recess ends in October or November-and during this additional period, Mendès reassured the left...
...Communist youth paper, Komsomolskaya Pravda, was particularly upset by religious "infection" of the young, and last week provided parents with what it considered helpful slogans to pass along to the kids: "Religion is poison-keep children away." "Bread is given us not by Christ, but by machines and collective farms." "When God is forgotten, life is better." "Without God and priests there are more sheaves in the fields...
