...black animosity can breed an antidote to its own racial poison. In Chicago, where the white community dismissed Martin Luther King's 1966 civil rights crusade with a hatful of vapid promises, black pocketbook power has become an effective, constructive force. In less than two years, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, 26, a burly, apothegmatizing King lieutenant who praises the Lord and believes in the might of economics, has wrested work from ghetto businessmen for 3,000 of his flock and boosted South Side Negroes' annual income by $22 million...
Eight months after the death of Joseph Cardinal Ritter, St. Louis Catholics finally got a new archbishop last week. He is the Most Rev. John Joseph Carberry, 63, Bishop of Columbus, Ohio, for the past three years. Born in Brooklyn, Carberry studied at the ecclesiastical boot camp for future U.S. bishops, the North American College in Rome, and is currently chairman of the U.S. hierarchy's Committee for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs. Last month Carberry became the first Catholic bishop to receive the Protestant Ohio Council of Churches' annual "Pastor of Pastors" award. He is considered slightly more...

...Daily I repeat to myself 'I believe,' " the Rev. Daniel Alfred Poling once said. "I could say, 'I doubt, I deny,' but that is negative." The beliefs of Poling-who died last week of a heart attack at the age of 83-could serve as a compendium of what classic American Protestantism used to stand...
Perhaps 2,200 of the Episcopal Church's 9,000 ministers are in need of pastoral counseling because of frustration in their jobs, estimates the Rt. Rev. Chandler W. Sterling. Properly appalled by this gloomy statistic, Bishop Sterling is now planning what he hopes will become a nationwide rehabilitation program for troubled clergymen, to be known as PARDON.* A dropout from the diocesan ministry himself, Sterling, 57, resigned last October as Bishop of Montana because he felt "completely frustrated in my work." A zealous Christian activist, he was discouraged by the failure of Montana Episcopalians to support such measures...
