But now many churches in his archdiocese have a lay commentator to lead the congregation in reciting the Gloria, Creed and other prayers in English. In the equally conservative diocese of Brooklyn, staid Irish and Italian churches have been conducting midweek rehearsals and demonstration Masses to accustom their flocks to the prayers and hymns...

...Khiem had his own ideas. His departure was first delayed until Satur day, then until midweek. The ostensible reason: Khiem's astrologer says Wednesday is the best day for a journey. No body in Saigon knew what other events might be deemed propitious by Khiem's stargazer in the days ahead.
