Throughout the week's meetings, gaily dressed youths stood in the arena's bleachers, holding hands and taking turns quietly reading the names of all the Viet Nam war dead. At one point, the Bishop of California, the Rt. Rev. C. Kilmer Myers, introduced a procession of priests and youths bearing antiwar signs and wooden crosses aglow with psychedelic flowers and asked for "spiritual sanctuary" for two AWOL soldiers who had flown from Hawaii to the convention. Clearly the U.S. Episcopal Church, which for years has been a leader in the fight for change, was now ready...

"This money is to be given with no strings attached, and that's a big order for some to swallow," said California's progressive Bishop C. Kilmer Myers, who supports the proposal but thinks it will have trouble being approved. The Rev.
