...Society campaign to affirm that public intoxication alone is no cause for arrest without actual disorderly conduct. Were the bums pleased with this victory for humane treatment? Indeed not: they are clamoring for the good old days. "They want to get taken in," reported the Bowery Mission's Rev. Herbert Maynard last week. "They want to get cleaned up and get some food. If they can get ten days, they think they can get straightened...
When he retired in 1962 as pastor of Manhattan's modish, 157-year-old Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, the Rev. John Sutherland Bonnell found a fitting maxim for the occasion, a line from an old temperance song that admonished, "Have courage, my boy, to say no." It was high time, he said, for an old preacher to go dry fly-fishing in the streams of his native Prince Edward Island. Last week, at 73, Bonnell unexpectedly turned no into yes and accepted the presidency of Manhattan's little interdenominational New York Theological Seminary (enrollment: 180). For the occasion...
...Things New. On the institutional level, this growing concern with what the Rev. Eugene Smith, executive secretary in the U.S. for the World Council of Churches, calls "the Holy Spirit at work in the world," has led to a spate of discussion. In 1964 the meeting of the World Alliance of Reformed and Presbyterian Churches in Frankfurt, Germany, chose as its theme "Come Creator Spirit."

It has on its staff such experts as the Rev. George W. Webber, who has led a program of community and spiritual renewal in East Harlem. As a condition for accepting the seminary's presidency, Bonnell has been given a free hand in overhauling the curriculum, which will soon offer new masters' degrees in pastoral counseling and urban ministry, complete with on-the-job training in slum parishes...
...pastor of two country churches in Denmark's North Sea province of West Jutland, the Rev. Eilif Krogager, 56, has worked for 31 years to set the feet of his parishioners firmly on the road to heaven. Unlike other clerics, Krogager can also send his flock skyward by jet: he runs a tourist agency that is the fastest growing in all of Scandinavia. His Tjaereborg Travels this year will do a $30 million business booking trips for 170,000 people, including 10,000 leaving this week for Western and Southern Europe and North Africa. Through ten subsidiary companies, Tjaereborg...
