...being experimentally, and rather furtively, lowered. Last month Dr. Albert van den Heuvel of the World Council of Churches' Youth Department told a Chicago audience that priests and ministers impatient at the slow pace of organized ecumenical progress are celebrating the Eucharist together and giving each other Communion. As many as 6,000 dedicated Catholic and Protestant laymen reportedly belong to ecumenical study groups in The Netherlands that periodically celebrate interfaith Communions; either a minister or a priest will preside, and the consecrated elements are given to all members present. And though probably most common in Northern Europe, experiments...
...Neill suggests that while celibacy should not be abandoned, priests unable to live up to the vow might be allowed to marry and then continue with their duties. Thanks to pressure from missionary bishops, the council did clear the way toward the ordination of married deacons, who could distribute Communion and give instruction but not hear confessions or celebrate Mass. Some theologians predict that eventually the church will let priests marry or not as they wish, requiring celibacy only for those with a vocation to a religious order...

Her day at the office was long; most of her evenings were spent at home reading...

Thigh-high beach dresses were decorated with traffic signs, arid hiking costumes were just right for a tramp. Cocktail dresses were turned out looking like high-rise first Communion dresses. Patrick de Barentzen used so many bows in the hair to complement his school smocks and jumpers that fashion viewers thought they were watching the children's wear showing...
Gloria Up Front. Introduction of the Psalter and the 1928 revisions is only the first step. Eventually, the church hopes to experiment with even more drastic changes, including a new form for Holy Communion and baptism. The proposed Holy Communion is somewhat closer in structure to the Roman Catholic Mass than the present service; the Gloria, for example, would be recited at the beginning of worship following the Kyrie, instead of after distribution of the consecrated bread and wine. The Anglican liturgical commission that drew up the new services deliberately left the rubrics vague to allow for adaptation...
