...once symbolized the split between the churches; increasingly, they now express the churches' growth toward unity. In the chapel at the Jesuit University of Santa Clara recently, a Lutheran minister presided as a mixed congregation of Catholics and Protestants recited his church's version of vespers; a priest and a Baptist minister alternated reading the lessons. Last fall, in Boca Raton, Fla., an Anglican priest celebrated Mass before another interfaith group, using a new canon, or prayer of consecration, composed by a Dutch Jesuit...
Until then, there is a small danger that in their enthusiasm to borrow from alien traditions, Catholic and Protestant experimenters may pass each other in opposite directions. Recently, an Episcopal priest gleefully told Diekmann how his own church had taken to the new practice of genuflecting during the Creed and the consecration of the elements. Diekmann heaved a weary sigh: Catholicism is just at the point of discarding the genuflection altogether...
McKenzie is that rarity among academics, the readable expert: his trim prose glitters with aphorisms-and with, for a Catholic priest, unconventional ideas. He has kind words to say for Protestant Demythologizer Rudolf Bultmann, carefully argues that parts of the Gospels are not historical in the modern sense, accepts the validity of form criticism, which assumes that certain sayings of Jesus were created by the early church.

Psychologist Timothy Leary, 45, is less successful when it comes to com- municating with cops. The high priest of hallucination, who is most often held accountable for popularizing the mind-bending drug LSD, was arrested in Texas in December and last month received the maximum sentence-30 years in jail and a $40,000 fine-for illegally transporting marijuana. Last week police raided the rambling, 64-room house rented by Leary's Castalia Foundation in Millbrook, N.Y., and Leary, free on bail, once again was arrested-this time on charges of "possessing" narcotics, which were found in an upstairs...
...shirt and laid it in the path of the visitor's car. Later, 1,100 schoolchildren put on a dance extravaganza. Then, seated on a throne beneath a purple canopy in a makeshift church on Port-of-Spain's outskirts, the visitor watched impassively as incense-swinging priests murmured prayers and the high priest read a long eulogy. Thus last week did Haile Selassie, Emperor of Ethiopia, Lion of Judah, King of Kings and Elect of God, begin a week's visit to the three tiny Negro countries of Trinidad-Tobago, Jamaica and Haiti...
