...amazing that in 1967 some white men and women are still trying to persuade black Africans to abandon their religious beliefs and worship instead a blond and blue-eyed Jesus-the same Jesus whom the Ku Klux Klan and other racists in the U.S. and Britain and the apartheid white minorities of South Africa and Rhodesia worship; the same Jesus in whose name Jews have been persecuted in the West for ten centuries and 6,000,000 Jews were gassed in Germany only 25 years ago. For more than three centuries, Christianity has ministered to the American Negro...
...part of this worship of youth, this attempt to crack the mold of middle-age with newness, the beautiful people frug frenetically, bounce in and out of underground movies, wear mod clothing, and buy pop art. But they aren't hip. Above all, they aren't hip. They may posses all the equipment but they can't buy the spirit--that Frodo Baggins--Emmett Grogan quality described in the March issue of Ramparts, that spontaneity and excitement which should accompany granny print shirts and paisley pants...
Under the new bill, which is certain to be enacted into law some time after Parliament convenes in the spring, non-Catholics will be allowed to hold public worship services for the first time since Franco took over in 1939.

Aggressive and evangelical, Spain's Protestants have increased in numbers from 5,000 in 1945 to 30,000 today; the number of their private worship places has risen from 70 to 425, some of them clandestine. In fact, one of the most challenging problems for Spain's Protestants will be to try and preserve the same fervor in their churches now that the period of official suppression has more or less ended...
Marriage of Convenience. Most of the ecumenical parishes are united in service and separate in worship. But cooperation can lead to common prayer. One example is the ecumenical parish created by the uniting of Los Angeles' First Presbyterian Church and the University Methodist Church. This marriage of convenience was born out of desperation in 1965 when the Presbyterians borrowed the Methodist church for worship after their own ancient structure was condemned as unsafe. At first, the two congregations took turns using the Methodist church for worship. Last summer they began holding joint services, and now the ministers...
