...barriers is to create chaos, but ecumenical theologians are in fact taking a long, new look at the relation of interCommunion to organic church union. The question came up early this month at an interfaith dialogue on the Eucharist between U.S. Roman Catholic and Episcopal churchmen. At the meeting, Jesuit Theologian Bernard Cooke of Marquette argued that interCommunion could well take place before the two churches are formally united. Historically, he pointed out, the Eucharist in the church has been both a symbol of unity in faith already achieved and a means of obtaining that unity. Thus he boldly proposed...
Ugaritic research is only just now showing up in Biblical studies. It strikingly affects a new translation of Psalms I (1-50) by Jesuit Father Mitchell Dahood, published by Doubleday this week as part of its Anchor Bible, a continuing project of Roman Catholic, Protestant and Jewish experts. Dahood, a professor of Ugaritic at Rome's Pontifical Biblical Institute, draws on the Ras Shamra discoveries to correct and sometimes drastically change a number of obscure and, so he believes, previously misinterpreted passages in Psalms...
...hiring propagandizers for a faith. "It's completely irrelevant to us whether a man is a good Christian or a good Protestant or a good atheist just so long as he is a good and competent scholar," says Columbia's Joseph Blau.

And on the great staircase, a leggy young blonde from Stanford University remarks: "Gee, nobody but nobody gets to live in a place like this...
...World. How can they cooperate? Garaudy's answer is that both ideologies are becoming more humanistic. Such Christian thinkers as Jesuit Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, he argues, have restated the old Christian dichotomy of "either God or the world" in terms of a new "God in the world relationship." At the same time, Marxist intellectuals are abandoning their own crude "materialistic determination." Some Marxists now admit that the Christian's act of faith "bears witness to the grandeur of man." What Marxism attacked in the past was not Christians' "faith, love, aspirations and hopes," but the church...
