...committee was formed last Janu ary in the wake of Bishop James Pike's demand for a heresy trial to challenge those attacking him for speaking out against various hallowed doctrinal beliefs. The church was loath to take so drastic a step, instead named the committee of eleven clerics and laymen to advise the church's presiding bishop on the overall problem of freedom of inquiry within the church. It was headed by Bishop Stephen F. Bayne, Jr., 59, energetic former executive secretary of the Anglican Communion, presently director of the church's overseas department...

Pike, 54, controversial Episcopal Bishop of California until he resigned his diocesan duties last year, now a fellow at Santa Barbara's Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions; by Esther Yanovsky Pike, 48; on uncontested grounds of mental cruelty (she said he stayed away from home), after 25 years of marriage, four children; in San Francisco...

Kilmer Myers as Bishop of California last September, there was some hope that he might prove a little less of a headlinemaker than his resigning predecessor, James A. Pike. No such luck. Soon after he was elected bishop, Myers denounced the Episcopal Church for being guilty of "the heresy of racism." A fervent Viet Nam dove, Myers later attacked Francis Cardinal Spellman's statements supporting the war as "outrageous," and piously implored: "May God and Pope Paul forgive him."
