...autonomous churches of Orthodoxy are united in faith but seldom in action-especially when dealing with Roman Catholicism. Patriarch Alexei of Moscow sends observers to the Vatican Council, and Athenagoras I, the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, made no secret of his high regard for Pope John XXIII.

Last week the Fisher dynasty all but drew to a close with the death of Charles Thom as Fisher, 83, the family patriarch and the last of the two brothers who started the Fisher Body...
