...Prayer v. Pugnacity. The Rev. James Groppi, 36, a Milwaukee-born Italian-American, is remembered by his fellow seminarians as a devout, self-effacing youth. 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...
...where he went wrong. He didn't pray enough. There wasn't adequate psychological testing when he entered the seminary." Added McBride: "More than likely this is true in some instances, but I maintain it is grossly overstated. There are married clergy today who have healthy prayer lives, a zealous sense of Christian mission and a balanced view of sex. To presume otherwise is a distortion of facts and an injustice to honest men." Describing preoccupation with celibacy as "a hobbyhorse of Roman Catholic theology," Dutch Priest R.J. Bunnik contended that Pope Paul's decision...
...Prayer. Born in Fort Dodge, Iowa, Sister Corita began teaching at Immaculate Heart in 1946, later received a master's in art history from the University of Southern California. Over the years, her style has progressed from representational to fullblown pop. If her technique is secular, so in many ways is her outlook. "I don't find a great difference between what's religious and not religious," she says. "As a Christian, if you believe God became man, you figure that he meant it seriously, and all we have of this world is very good. If Christ...
Warm and Crackling. Both men painted in the "Mad '40s," an era that was ushered in with the cry of "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" and went out with the California gold rush. Americans gambled their fortunes on cockfights, sang themselves hoarse at prayer meetings, got roaring drunk on grog. They were titillated by Tyler's dalliance with a society beauty, captivated by Morse's telegraph, endlessly amused by politics. Mount and Woodville's art chronicled the times with a warm blend of sentimentality and good humor...
Defiance is also widespread in rural Bible belt areas of the Midwest. One sur vey, for example, indicates that more than half of the school districts in In diana observe periods of prayer and one-third continue Bible reading. When some parents of children in a Jennison, Mich., school objected to classroom prayer, the school board rejected their complaints. In the Southwest, one count shows that Bible readings were held in 79.9% of the Texas secondary schools, prayers were said in 89.5%. In the East, where 68% of the schools had Bible reading and prayer in 1962, most have abandoned...
