"We cannot take away the fact that man is capable of sin and has free choice between good and evil," says the Rev. John Lind, assistant pastor of New York City's Roman Catholic Church of the Resurrection-Ascension. "The great theological problem is to determine what our free choices are. With the help of psychology, we are beginning to understand that there are forces at work in a human being that can lessen his culpability...
David F. Coffey and John E. Cupples, third-year Divinity students, have been given the money to work under the Rev. Harold R.

Assigned to St. Boniface Church in 1963 as assistant pastor, Groppi (rhymes with puppy) found himself in the heart of one of the North's most strangely segregated cities-and soon became "chaplain" to the N.A.A.C.P.'s local Youth Council. A summer's march in Selma, Ala., two years ago confirmed him in his militant's role...
