...backgrounds vary widely. The oldest, Jeannette Piccard, 79, piloted many of the stratospheric flights of her late husband, Balloonist Jean Piccard. Marie Moorefield, 30, a graduate of Vanderbilt Divinity School and a chaplain trainee at Topeka State Hospital in Kansas, grew up as a Southern Baptist and became an Episcopalian just five years ago.

...White House staff prayer breakfast last week, Colson, 42, revealed a new aspect. He said that he has "come to know Christ." Episcopalian Colson admitted that until recently he had been a regular, but hardly committed churchgoer. But he said that since his departure from the White House he has had "some occasion" to think about religion and "pray with other committed people." Suspecting that his newfound faith may go down hard with some, Tough Guy Colson had a forthright response for scoffers. Said he: "If anyone wants to be cynical about it, I'll pray...
