...archconservative hierarchy has long been at odds with Athenagoras, largely because of his interest in healing Orthodoxy's centuries-old breach with Rome.

He attended an interfaith ministers' meeting and was fully prepared when the inevitable question arose about the inferior status of Negroes in the Mormon Church. "I was raised in the conviction that the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are divinely inspired documents of the Creator, and all mankind is the child of God with basic rights," he said.
