...community prayed for divine assistance, the two-man J & L Well Service Co. began drilling for gas on the nuns' 100-acre property. Within four days, natural gas was found; today this private energy source heats the two-story convent that houses 140 Benedictine nuns and a chapel that seats 300 people. The sisters' $105,000 investment-which came from selling stock they owned-has so far saved them $7,000 in heating costs, and geologists are busy surveying for a second well. Says Sister Maureen Tobin, the subprioress of the convent: "We anticipated that we could...
Back in Warsaw, another high-level meeting took place last week between leaders of two important power blocs: the workers and the Roman Catholic Church. At the invitation of Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski, Labor Leader Walesa attended a private Mass at the chapel of the Primate's palace, followed by a meeting in the Cardinal's apartments. The invitation was widely interpreted as an attempt by Wyszynski to mend fences with the workers, many of whom felt that he had failed to support them adequately during the strikes. The workers were especially disappointed by the Cardinal...
...dissent spread, Eirinaios returned home for a vacation. In an incredible episode on Aug. 29, a weeping band of former parishioners interrupted him at prayer in a little chapel near Chania, kissed him, then literally hauled the protesting prelate into a car for the trip to Kisamos.

He told TIME last week: "Only after I recovered from the initial shock and saw the sufferings of these people did my soul yield...
Hundreds of thousands of tiny feathers from forest birds, trapped with bird lime and nets, went into the making of a cloak, and they were painstakingly tied to a mesh base to form broad, brilliant patterns. Not until the 1950s, with Hen ri Matisse's chasubles for the Chapel of the Rosary at Vence, would a ceremonial garment approach the purity and bold ness of design of the 19th century chiefs cloak named for Kekaulike-nui. Such objects would form a climax to any ethnographical show. One can only regret that in this case they...
...Iran may get away with murder in other countries is that those other countries have decided that they prefer oil to order. The absence of sanctuaries in the modern world must be of general help as well. He who would mow down an archbishop saying Mass in a chapel in San Salvador (or storm a mosque, or sack an embassy) would hardly hesitate to invade Bethesda. The public heart recoils at such goings-on, but briefly. Before Mr. Tabatabai's murder, someone suggested to his neighbors, the Milks, that they paint a purple arrow on their garage, with...
