Conservative Episcopalians angered by their denomination's decision to ordain women as priests have been quitting the Mother Church to form their own "Anglican Church of North America." Last week members of Good Shepherd, the second oldest Episcopal church in Columbia, S.C., voted 104 to 48 to join the schism. And where will the separatists hold services? At the Young Women's Christian Association in downtown Columbia, that's where. "Maybe this is God's way of underscoring the fact that this is not an antifeminist movement," said Irvin D.

The real factor of course, will be money. This week's 28-page issue contains about four pages of ads, and the general rule of thumb says that to break even about half the issue has to be advertisements. Look for a 24-page...
...officialdom, the characters, who are all black, spend their lives reacting in one way or another to persistent discrimination. Macon Dead, a successful black slumlord, will always be warped, both because he must live with a name given his father by a drunken Union soldier who filled out the form wrong, and because he will not be any more accepted by the white banks than he will be by his black tenants. His wife, the doctor's daughter, will never be part of the city's black community because she alone is from the middle class...
