...drowning sounds of Powell Street in the afternoon, and in the early evening as the sun set on the bay the soft odors of won-ton soup drifting up through the air vents. Crazy! But take my advice, and give up the Oriental bit, and go domestic. Contemplation, inward communion, and all that jazz is all right, but all I got was anemic from eating too much rice...
...about 1,000,000 souls throughout the world-110,000 of them in the U.S., 40,000 in Canada and 250,000 in Latin America. The Antioch patriarchate shares dogma, tradition and ritual with the other Orthodox patriarchates-Russia, Constantinople, Jerusalem, Alexandria-in a relationship roughly equivalent to the communion between the Episcopalian Church and the Church of England.

Families. "Amidst the most damaging aberrations of modern pagans is the opinion of those who define fecundity as a social evil." Enumerating the blessings of having many children, the Pope added: "No sooner are the happy pilgrimages to the baptismal font ended than the bright series of first communions and confirmations begins, and when the smallest brother puts away his first-communion suit, out comes the family's first nuptial veil, bringing together before the altar the parents, all the children, and the delight of new in-laws...
