...person hardly expects the arrival of 460 Anglican clergymen to signal wholesale whoopee. But judging from the Lambeth '68 guidebook, printed to help the bishops when they met last week for their decennial conference in London, somebody expects the old boys to kick up their heels a bit. In the section on where to eat, the Barque and Bite was highly recommended because "you get a sherry on the house while you study the menu." Chez Solange came out as "very, very French" with "ludicrously large helpings, noisy French neighbors and good carafe wine." L'Etoile was billed...
...Novelist William Styron was incapable of putting himself inside the skin of a 19th century Negro slave. More effective was a satire apparently written in answer to it. Just as Styron placed himself in the position of Turner, so did pseudonymous Author F. Tuy Holrel write in the first person about George Washington. The Father of His Country is obsessed with a winsome Negro lass at Mount Vernon ("vixen of my terrible desire"), but he loses her ultimately to a supervirile Negro slave...
...sociologist and the economist invite us into the picture. By then, too many of the important decisions have been made." Nat Owings heartily agrees.

Worried about this failure to interact, a few avant-garde theologians are experimenting with new, nonverbal techniques as potential ways of restoring some sense of community in worship. A striking example of this trend took place at the recent assembly of the World Council of Churches in Uppsala, Sweden, where...
...Join Hands. At Uppsala, Mc Gaw held his services at a small pre- fabricated chapel outside the main assembly hall. Initially, he asked the worshipers, mostly curious clergymen and youth delegates attending the conference, to divide themselves into circles of six, join hands and pray or meditate. Each person was then asked to explain what the moment had meant for him. In the next phase, the worshipers one by one stood in the center of the circle, closed their eyes, and let themselves fall backward; they were caught and passed from one member of the group to another. "The purpose...
