Abrogating Laws. Last week British Judaism was split by its worst schism ever-over whether it should adapt to modern life or reject it for the sake of Israel's carefully nourished beliefs. Cause of the schism is the modern-minded theological outlook of Dr. Louis Jacobs, 43, a Biblical scholar who between 1954 and 1960 was rabbi of the New West End Synagogue in Bayswater, a traditional center of worship for many Anglo-Jewish families. Although he is Orthodox in practice, Jacobs has long shocked his bearded rabbinical colleagues in the Orthodox-controlled United Synagogue, Britain...
...Reluctant Caboose. Kennedy agrees that "the church has many weaknesses," but he also believes that the church has many strengths, and among them is the rules-laden organization that so many younger ministers complain about. To Kennedy, the right use of organization can foster successful evolution instead of schism-creating revolution. Methodism, he says, is a "strange combination of discipline and freedom-and it is the discipline that makes the freedom possible." Wesley's instinct for order was wise, he argues, "because nobody stands alone. We're a connectional church-and you just...
Keeping the Mass. The Western Rite is an Orthodox attempt to restore the cultural balance of East and West that existed in their church before Rome -as the East believes - fell away into schism in 1054. In doctrine, Western Orthodox believers follow the bearded patriarchs of Constantinople, Antioch and Moscow, but their way of worship is the Mass rather than the lengthy Divine Liturgies of the East.

...spoke the highest-ranking prelates of Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism, the branches of Christianity sundered in the great schism of 1054. Their meeting, at the residence of the Vatican's Apostolic Delegate to Jordan on Jerusalem's Mount of Olives, was the first encounter of Pope and Patriarch since a tentative reconciliation in 1439, and it became a meeting of brothers. Responding to one of Paul's remarks, Athenagoras once demurred: "I am not a Holiness, only a patriarch." "You are Holiness to your people," the Pope answered, taking Athenagoras' hand. "I am Holiness to mine...
Rushing Toward Schism. In public, Pope Paul made unmistakably clear his admiration and friendship for such council progressives as Belgium's Leo Josef Cardinal Suenens, and even gave open praise to Fathers Yves Congar and Karl Rahner, two council theologians whose ideas are intensely disliked by the Curia. But the Pope also seems to have found himself more a prisoner of the Curia than John ever was-and he apparently decided that he cannot afford to alienate its powerful conservatives by acting strongly against them. As an administrator, Pope Paul proved to have a common failing of the intellectual...
