...Popular Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine is led by Jordanian Christian Nayef Hawatmeh, 40. He and his 500 Marxist followers split from Habash's organization in 1969, complaining that the P.F.L.P. was not vigorous enough in combatting right-wing Arab governments like Jordan's. Their most notable recent operation was the Ma'alot raid in Israel last May, in which 21 schoolchildren were killed. The attack prompted a massive Israeli retaliation by air on Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon...

Archbishop Samuel Carter of Kingston, Jamaica, even called for "corporate reunion" between some Protestant churches and the Roman Catholic Church on a regional basis. "Full agreement in doctrine is not needed before some measure of intercommunion is allowed," noted Carter, who urged greater development of joint Protestant-Catholic services. Regional union, he suggested, would eventually mean the incorporation of "new and distinct rites with disciplines different from the Latin Church. This would involve married clergy of new Western rites coexisting...
