Patrick Rodger of Scot land's Episcopal Church, choice of the council's powerful 16-man executive committee at a meeting held in Tutzing, Germany, last August. There were quiet complaints even then about Rodger, a scholarly theologian who has been on the council's staff, as head of its Faith and Order Department, only since 1961.
