Father Jacques Cua, shepherd of the third largest Roman Catholic flock in South Viet Nam, was a man who worked wonders. In his crowded parish in Giadinh, just outside Saigon, the happily smiling, moonfaced little priest was always helping someone. If a Christian family wanted to find a good husband for a daughter, Father Jacques took care of it. If a parishioner needed a job, Father Jacques found him one.

If our generation were to write down its interpretation of the Bible, in another 100 years we would be just another denomination." Young's flock calls him Brother rather than the "Doctor" to which he is entitled (he has an M.A. from Vanderbilt University and a Ph.D. from George Peabody College), because the Churches of Christ play down the difference between clergy and laymen. "Each individual is a priest," Young explains. "We encourage them...
