...Episcopalians and the United Church of Christ have each scheduled formal discussions this year on the site problem; in each case, however, the national staff and Eastern establishment probably have the clout to forestall any move. The newly merged Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) will decide next year where to locate denominational headquarters, and some believe the majority will be against New York. Three Lutheran branches are also merging, and in September a committee will probably recommend a midwestern city for the new headquarters...
Various cities are already lobbying to land the potential New York refugees. No one is doing so more actively than the persuasive mayor of Indianapolis, William Hudnut III, a Presbyterian clergyman who helped engineer the nighttime raid of Baltimore's Colts last year.

Levin, 52, Cable News Network's Beirut bureau chief, was abducted from a busy West Beirut street about a week earlier.

But traditionally, a simple bone graft taken from the fibula or from any of several bones in cadavers can be used to repair only a small area. In cases like Labollita's, where the gap was more than 3 in. long, ordinary bone grafts fail for lack of an adequate...
Another arrested squatter was Lutheran Pastor William Rex, a D.M.S. activist who faces additional troubles. Pittsburgh police accuse him of conspiring to plan a protest at Shadyside Presbyterian Church, where suspected D.M.S. members hurled balloons filled with dye and skunk spray at participants in a family Christmas pageant. In addition, members of Rex's parishes in Monroeville and Trafford, Pa., have petitioned Bishop May to investigate the parson's conduct...
