...Episcopalians, gathered for their triennial General Convention in Louisville in October, failed to go on record about Watergate...
During the past decade, the once conservative Episcopal Church has flowered into one of the most progressive of mainstream Protestant denominations in the U.S. But last week, at their 64th triennial convention in Louisville, the Episcopalians abruptly applied the brakes to innovation. The House of Bishops elected the Right Rev. John M. Allin, 52, of Mississippi-the most conservative of five candidates-as their new Presiding Bishop, the church's chief executive.

On the eve of the convention he wrote a column speculating that the meeting could erupt into violence. He appeared on Houston TV to criticize Presiding Bishop John Hines' administration. During the convention, he testified at a budget-committee hearing. And each day, wearing clerical garb at the typewriter, he wrote an outspoken column for the Houston Post. Reaction was angry. Twenty-three Houston priests denounced...
