Police found the body of Monsignor David P. Herlihy, 74, early Sunday at the St. Matthew's Church rectory. The Rev. A. Joseph Bissonette, 55, was found dead Feb. 24 at the St. Batholemew's Church rectory, a 10-minute walk away...
...forbid women's holding authority over men. But the most determined opposition has come from the High Church, or Anglo-Catholic wing, which is close to Roman Catholicism in many of its beliefs, traditions and rituals. The focus for this resistance is the outspoken Bishop of London, the Rt. Rev. Graham Leonard, 65. Anglo-Catholics concur with Roman Catholic teaching that creating women priests would violate the intentions of Jesus Christ and would deviate from an unbroken church practice of ordaining only men.

Every third year, Kyle's organization sponsors missionary conventions at the University of Illinois, where North American collegians gather to consider overseas work. At the last meeting, in 1984, 4,683 students filed written pledges that they would go overseas, and 10,153 more vowed to pray about...
...Rev. James Cogswell, head of the National Council of Churches, overseas division, says mainline denominations have consciously decided to send more cash and fewer people. "American missionaries overseas cost a lot of money," he explains, and it is "far better" to send support to workers in indigenous churches. Cogswell also stresses that quality is more important than quantity, charging that the conservatives often "brainwash" people with a "very American interpretation" of the Gospel...
