...main argument against building big churches is that the money spent buying stone might better be used buying bread for the poor. "For every dollar that goes into a church building, a dollar should go to feed starving children," says Presbyterian Minister Robert Hudnut of Wayzata, a Minneapolis suburb, who believes that all new churches should reflect "humility and economy." Rochester's innovation-minded Catholic Bishop Fulton J. Sheen (see PEOPLE) feels much the same way; up to 3% of the value of every parish construction project must be paid to Sheen's office in the form...
Moral Crises. The majority of U.S. Christians are not yet prepared to worship in tents, and many American churches, in city as well as suburb, are hardly big enough to accommodate their regular crowds of Sunday worshipers. Moreover, plenty of churchmen see no conflict between service to man and obeisance to God. "I do not believe that not building a cathedral is going to solve the problems of the ghettos," says Georgia Baptist Layman C. H. Lampin.

Terrorists also blew up the water reservoir of a kibbutz in Upper Galilee, almost succeeded in cutting the rail line to Jerusalem and derailed a passenger train in the Negev...
John D. What they are trying to tell him, says a friend, is that "Bob wasn't born-he was woven by Betsy Ross." Actually, she only adopted him. Bob was born Leslie Townes Hope in a London suburb in 1903. Hope's own statement notwithstanding, his great-grandfather was not "a lookout for Lady Chatterley." His father, though, was a stonemason who took his family to Cleveland when Leslie was four...
