This rose-colored view of a divided Christendom comes from an ex-British, China-born Methodist minister who teaches economics, preaches sermons, and performs marriages at California's Mills College.

She is promptly dusted off by another columnist: Sam Craig (Mr. Tracy), sportswriter, of her own paper. The tone of his piece, which calls her "the Calamity Jane of the fast international set," is less politely echoed by one of his colleagues: "Women should be kept illiterate...
