...worked up considerable scholarly interest in studying and discussing the theology of their church. The latest symptom of this interest is a magazine called Theology Digest, to be published three times a year, which appeared for the first time last week (first print order: 2,500 copies).

For relaxation, Dulles has long favored sailing and fishing in Lake Ontario, where he has his own island...
...convivial man about town, when he met his fellow Basque, Ignatius Loyola, who was to be the founder of the Society of Jesus. After that, his life changed. Sixteen years later, a priest and a single-minded evangelist, he left Lisbon on a Portuguese carrack to found the Jesuit missions in Asia. He never returned to Europe...
