...Bombay last week, prayer was on every lip. Hindus chanted ancient Sanskrit devotions. Moslems turned toward Mecca and sought Allah's mercy. Fire-worshiping Parsis invoked Zoroaster. For 30 minutes one day, even the frenzied babble of Bombay's stock exchange subsided into a quiet whisper of prayers. All were looking to the heavens for the same thing: rain...
...four churches. Each denomination will hold separate religious services for its own members, although the ministers have not yet figured out precisely how to divide up Sunday morning. As members of a single Christian community, St. Mark's parishioners will be invited to join regular ecumenical prayer service.

With this prayer, seven Seattle residents-four Protestants and three Roman Catholics-sat down together to talk about theology one evening last week in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lamar. Beneath a benignly smiling statue of St. Francis, the group sipped coffee and nibbled cookies as they discussed the differences in their faiths for two hours, ending with still another prayer-and agreement about what they would discuss at next month's meeting...
