Although he is no gambling man, the Rev. Owen Barrow, 40, a slight, blue-eyed Church of England clergyman, was willing to wager $33,000 on a hunch he had four years ago. His hunch: that Protestants of all denominations in the Canadian pulp & paper mill town of Marathon (present pop. 2,000) could worship together amicably in one church.

Out of them grew the Council for Clinical Training. At first it grew slowly. Many a student-clergyman was reluctant to add the study of psychotherapy to his already heavy theological schooling. But today the council offers training in 26 prisons, hospitals and correctional institutions...
