...ministers of East and West headed back to the rote and routine of Geneva. Most of them had sensibly spent the three-week holiday away from their books. France's Couve de Murville took a jaunt with President de Gaulle to Rome and Madagascar. The U.S.'s Christian Herter got in some sailing on the choppy waters of Massachusetts Bay. For Britain's Selwyn Lloyd there were long English weekends at Chequers.

The United Church of Christ began to come into being two years ago in Cleveland (TIME, July 1, 1957), when the General Council of the Congregational Christian Churches (membership: 1,401,565) agreed to merge with the Evangelical and Reformed Church (membership: 807,280).
