...believed to have opposed the bishops' historic decision to open the sessions to the press and a limited number of Catholic observers (the ballots were secret). Though he favors a degree of ecumenical interchange, he most likely joined the majority of bishops in rejecting the idea of wider pulpit exchanges with Protestants...
Motown Beatitudes After listening to the Motown album What's Going On, the Rev. Jesse Jackson informed its creator, Soul Crooner Marvin Gaye, that he was as much a minister as any man in any pulpit. Gaye does not see himself in quite that way, though he does admit to a certain "in" with the Almighty. "God and I travel together with righteousness and goodness. If people want to tag along, they can." While such words would sound intolerably conceited from any other pop star, they come inoffensively from Gaye.

...Pulpit Participation. The screening campaign is being conducted by Dr. Michael Kaback, an assistant professor of pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and Dr. Robert Zeiger of the National Cancer Institute.

Many diseases meet two of the three criteria. Tay-Sachs is the only disease that meets all three...
Back in his Harlem pulpit for the first time in four months, the Rev. Adam Clayton Powell, 62, told the 2,500 faithful in his Easter congregation that he was retiring.

Not long ago, for example, he tossed his wallet onto the Communion table and offered to bet $1,000 that nobody in the congregation could prove to him that...
Where a preacher used the privilege of the pulpit to vilify members of the congregation as coming from "the lowest down scrapings of the earth," the Georgia Court of Appeals held that vigorous protest by the targets of the abuse was justified. The disturbance of the service, in effect, was the fault of the minister for inciting the congregation. ( Jackson us, State. 1918 ) In Gaddis us. State (1920) the Supreme Court of Nebraska held that certain interruptions of a religious service, even in the absence of personal insult, did not amount to a disturbance...
