...dead stands in front of the St. Lazarus Oratory near the Pittsburgh Airport. A 25-ft. bronze of an ectomorphic St. Peter casting his net will soon stand in New York's Lincoln Center just across from the Metropolitan Opera House. A convert to Roman Catholicism, Shrady does secular commissions as well, but admits "I have a special feeling for religious art." He received only $28,000, well below his usual fee, for the Nazareth doors-but they may remain on public display a lot longer than some of his other works. One Israeli architect estimates that...
Spiritual though his purpose is, Capon relishes the secular. He regards any meal as incomplete without a good wine. Would St. Paul, Calvin or Luther, he asks, have opened "bottles of Welch's Grape Juice in the sacristy before a service?" He dismisses synthetic foods as almost blasphemous and his gorge rises on the subject of dieting: "When you fast, fast; when you feast, feast." Neither prim nor prudish, he considers women, like pastries, a special delight: "A woman is like an aging strudel-not always crisp on the outside, but always good on the inside...

Nonetheless, they may unwittingly reflect "the operation of the Holy Spirit," Bellah says. He looks on the Peace Corps, for instance, as "a secular monastic order whose members take a voluntary vow of poverty and go out to work for the alleviation of the sufferings of the world...
...when he cut out nearly all first-grade classes from archdiocesan schools. For smaller cities, where public schools have space and the laws allow it, "shared-time" programs may work. In at least 300 communities parochial-school children are allowed to attend public schools for classes in such secular subjects as language, mathematics and the physical sciences. St. Paul's High School, in Chicago, was even designed to be a shared-time school, and it regularly sends students to the nearby public high school for a number of secular courses...
