...Those whom God hath joined together let no man put asunder," intoned the Rev. Claudius Miller, an Episcopal minister, at the wedding last month of Susan Ekberg, an Episcopalian, and Patrick C. Barker, a Roman Catholic. The words were from the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer, and the wedding took place at St. Genevieve du Bois Catholic Church near St. Louis. A Catholic priest officiated jointly with Father Miller, and Susan promised that she would bring her children up as Catholics...
George Cadigan. Bishop Cadigan, who is close to the Ekberg family, interceded with the cardinal when Susan insisted on having a priest of her faith at the ceremony, and Father Miller helped work out a ceremony that used prayers from both the Catholic and Episcopal rites.

Mjorud, who is also a devotee of faith healing, was warned several times by the Evangelism Commission, and only the intervention of A.L.C. President Fredrik Schiotz saved him from dismissal last year. Although...
...president of the Kansas City Council of Churches, explains that "some laymen have a vague feeling that we are losing all religion in public life and that something ought to be done, but they don't know what."
