Though Harris was a prison chaplain for four years and worked part time at two churches, she has never been the full-time rector of her own parish.

Killu Tyugu, 21, a thoughtful Soviet college student, remembers when the rector of Tartu State University in Estonia asked if anyone wanted to go to America.

Why Rome? "I've never been before," smiled the radiant bride. The couple slipped quietly into the red room of the historic Campidoglio on Capitoline Hill and exchanged vows in front of the councilman for the city police. (The mayor sent his regrets.) Afterward, the pair posed briefly for photographers...
