...filmstrips were part of a sex education course prepared by the Unitarian Universalist Association, but that cut no ice with the district attorney of Waukesha County, Wis. The strips included scenes of a nude couple having intercourse, of masturbation and of the behavior of homosexuals. D.A. Richard McConnell told the Unitarian Church West in the Milwaukee suburb of Brookfield that if it showed the strips without first establishing "ground rules" with him, "prosecution could be the result."

Unitarian Universalist churchmen have approved an experimental plan that will allow seminarians to freewheel around New York for three years, taking courses wherever they want to, living in the ghettos if they choose, learning to minister to the world principally by living in it. A larger and more structured program along similar lines is apparently working well. Last year Manhattan's onetime conservative New York Theological Seminary made a major shift in direction by choosing as its new president George W. ("Bill") Webber...
