...virtue of the new rite of worship is its flexibility. Priests now celebrate the Eucharist in homes, offices and hotels for small groups, as well as in churches. This freedom has allowed innovative clergymen to extend their ministry in intriguing new ways. St. Louis parish in Miami offers a Mass that uses young people in adult capacities-reading the Epistle and Gospel, acting as ushers, leading the music. In East Los Angeles, priests from Our Lady of Solitude parish celebrate Mass in the area's housing projects for members of barrio gangs who are fearful of crossing another gang...
...some of the town's many Protestants show up occasionally at Communion and are not turned away ("So many of them believe as we do," explains Pastor James Supple). Last Easter the Catholic and Episcopal chaplains at an Eastern university assisted a Lutheran minister in celebrating the midnight Eucharist-in a Dutch Reformed church. Catholics are generally enjoying a new freedom to attend Protestant and Jewish services. "In Oklahoma, we got into the habit of going down to a black revival church," says Jim Scott of Our Lady of Malibu parish. "At first we went down for the fantastic...

In the Lord's Prayer, "And lead us not into temptation" is rendered flatly as "Save us from...

Yet Roman Catholic women are now participating in the Mass as lectors, and in the distribution of the Eucharist. Nuns, of course, have undergone an astonishing transformation in the past decade, doffing habits and leaving cloisters to live in the community at large...
...volunteer cast of 200, Pir Vilayat narrated from the high cathedral pulpit as the Sufi choir sang themes from various religions and a small orchestra, complete with conch and sitar, emitted a variety of sounds. The sequence of the performance, if not the message, is borrowed from the Christian Eucharist. In each section, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, Christians and Moslems are given a turn to express their devotion. As the Mass ends, Pir Vilayat intones: "I am the One I love, there is but One. One in all. All in One." With that, the cast bursts into a romping "Alleluia" song...
