...sustained by communal structure. Churchmen would also argue that there is nothing obsolete about the basic necessity for worship and prayer. "Liturgy must be an expression of something that is happening in the community," says the Rev. David Kirk, a Melchite Catholic priest who is founder of a unique interfaith center in Manhattan called Emmaus House. "Without worship, the community is a piece of rubbish." On the other hand, there is little doubt that the churches are in desperate need of new, this-worldly liturgies that reflect present needs rather than past glories...
...addition, Brooks, along with a group that calls itself the Interfaith Housing Corporation, is planning a radically new approach to moderate income housing. Instead of isolating the old or the poor in any one development, the Corporation is planning a mixed community. On an eight-acre tract in the Waldon Square area of Northwest Cambridge the City Stables housing project will be built--250 low rise garden apartments (for families with children) and a cluster of high rise apartments. About 25 per cent of the apartments will be rented under the Public Housing Leasing Program, under which the city pays...
Nowhere is ecumenical enthusiasm for Reformation Day greater than in The Netherlands. There, Catholic, Protestant and even Jewish scholars have participated in preparing a televised series of documentaries on Luther and his ideas, and this week there will be a major interfaith symposium at the Lutheran church attached to Amsterdam's Municipal University.

A son-in-law, fascinated and undermined by science, moves toward that 20th century religion-substitute, psychiatry. The son-in-law's sister moves to the city and turns into a forerunner of the Career Girl...

In this sense, at least, they resemble the cells of the zealous Catholic lay organization Opus Dei (TIME, May 12). A major reason for so much secrecy is that the interfaith membership includes renewal-minded priests and nuns who fear the wrath of their bishops for taking part in illegal services.* Nonetheless, many of these clerics regard the services at underground churches as far more meaningful than Catholicism's official liturgy. Says one nun who belongs to an underground cell...
