Young Wall Street Broker W. Lockwood Thompson, expectably enough, is an Episcopalian; but all he really believes in is old money and old family (twelve generations), and he observes that faith by celebrating 365 Condescension Days a year. This condescension drips like ungentle rain on anyone beneath-club stewards, upstairs maids, college deans, headwaiters, and Mike Connor, an upstart Irish colleague in his uncle's brokerage house. Then, at age 30, "Lock" suddenly suffers a rupture in his social conscience, a vestigial organ that probably never bothered a Thompson before...
Pettigrew, himself an Episcopalian, noted his Church was going to an extreme in promoting "the counter ideology" of moderation. "There are not many racists in the Episcopal Church," he said. "That is not its problem. The problem is the prevailing assumption that the Church should be a bastion between dangerous extremists--racists and impatient integrationists."

Last year Dean Dillenberger, a United Church of Christ minister, was the principal graduation speaker at St. Albert's College of the Roman Catholic Dominican Fathers.

...engineered this pell-mell race of the Negro vote? No one is certain. But several civil rights enthusiasts have pointed out that Malcom E. Peabody Jr. '50, the Governor's younger brother, has been a leader in making friends for Peabody among the civil rights groups. He is an Episcopalian, like Breeden, and a member of the Episcopalian Society for Cultural and Racial Unity...
Ready for an Idea. This year, the clinic has a centennial to celebrate; its fame traces back to 1864, when English-born General Practitioner William Worrall Mayo began practicing in Rochester. After Dr. Mayo went into partnership with his two surgeon sons, William James and Charles Horace, the Episcopalian Mayos formed a close working relationship with Roman Catholic St. Mary's Hospital. Soon, other physicians joined the Mayos in what would now be called group practice. They offered the patient complete medical care for practically any condition-an idea for which the U.S. was apparently ready...
