- Institutions face problems in New York.
- Description
- Text transcribed from caption: PC-45052 INSTITUTIONS FACE PROBLEMS IN NEW YORK NEW YORK -- The Jewish Theological Seminary of America's announcement that it is considering moving, perhaps outside New York City, focuses attention on Morningside Heights, an area of northern Manhattan with one of the heaviest concentrations of religious and educational institutions in the nation. Located within a few blocks of each other are Jewish Theological (1), Teachers' College (2), Columbia University (3), Barnard College (4), Union Theological Seminary (5), the Interchurch Center (6), Riverside Church (7) and the Episcopal Cathedral of St. John the Divine (8). The area is bounded on the east by Morningside Park (right) and on the west by the Hudson River. One pressing problem for the Jewish Theological Seminary and the other institutions is the need for more space. The seminary owns two partly empty apartment buildings which it wants to raze for a new structure. Legal snags, including tenant attempts to prohibit the razing of the buildings, have delayed construction for some nine years. Columbia and St. John the Divine faced similar problems in the past when they attempted to expand. Another issue in Morningside Heights is safety on the streets. There has been a rash of assaults in the area; last year a Columbia professor was killed less than a block from Jewish Theological Seminary. Employees of the Interchurch Center are warned not to go out alone at noon because of the high rate of muggings and stabbings in Morningside Heights.

Members of the group held placards proclaiming the Comet Kohoutek as a sign of the impending judgment of God. Kohoutek has taken on religious significance among some fundamentalist groups. The so-called "Christmas comet" is seen by some as a possible sign of the Second Coming of Christ, while others interpret it as a warning of impending doom.

He permitted the women, however, to go through every part of the service except the laying on of hands. Bishop Moore, who supports the ordination of women to the priesthood, said he could not perform the rite until the Episcopal Church changes its stand against women priests. While the women did not win ordination, they were believed to be the first women ever formally presented to an Episcopal bishop for full clerical orders. The five women, each an ordained deacon in the New York Episcopal diocese, were the Rev. Carter Heyward, the Rev. Barbara Schlachter, the Rev. Emily Hewitt, the Rev. Carol Anderson and the Rev. Julia Sibley. The Episcopal diaconate -- a lower level of the clergy -- has been open to women for three years. The denomination's triennial General Convention last October refused to allow women priests, although a majority of the Church's bishops supported the measure.

Boe, has been ordered to jail for refusing to testify about what he saw and heard during 10 days spent last March in the Indian community of Wounded Knee, S.D. Dr. Boe claimed that the conversations he had with leaders of the American Indian Movement (AIM) during the confrontation there fell within a Clergy-penitent relationship and were therefore privileged. Judge Paul Benson, a lay member of an ALC church in Fargo, N.D., rejected the argument and held Dr. Boe in contempt of court. He ordered the ALC clergyman, who is executive director of the denomination's Division of Social Service, to the custody of the U.S. marshal in Sioux Falls for confinement in "a suitable place" until he is willing to testify before a grand jury.

- Text transcribed from caption: PC-45032 BELL EXPERT AT WORK BREWSTER, N.Y. -- William Theobald hangs a peal of eight bells in the tower of the Melrose Chapel of the Community of the Holy Spirit, an Episcopal women's order, in Brewster, N.Y. The 60-year-old Englishman is one of the few persons in the world who can both hang English-style bells and teach people to ring them properly. English bells, unlike carillons which are sounded from keyboards, are rung by ropes and do not play tunes. They ring scales based on an almost inexhaustible combination of numbers. Great skill is required to become an accomplished bellringer. Peals usually run from eight to 12 bells and require one person to ring each bell -- sometimes two on the largest. A split-second miss in tugging the rope will foul up the sequence. Mr. Theobald is currently interested in persuading Old North Church in Boston to make some structural changes in its tower so that Paul Revere's bells can be hung during the U.S. bicentennial in 1976. The firm he works for, London's Whitechapel Bell Foundry, cast the original Liberty Bell and is casting 2,400 miniature and some full-size replica$ of that famous bell. When asked if the crack will be reproduced in the replicas, Mr. Theobald responded, "No, we leave bell cracking to Americans." Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (B-BOS-12C-73-DS)

- Description
- Text transcribed from caption: PC-45032 BELL EXPERT AT WORK BREWSTER, N.Y. -- William Theobald hangs a peal of eight bells in the tower of the Melrose Chapel of the Community of the Holy Spirit, an Episcopal women's order, in Brewster, N.Y. The 60-year-old Englishman is one of the few persons in the world who can both hang English-style bells and teach people to ring them properly. English bells, unlike carillons which are sounded from keyboards, are rung by ropes and do not play tunes. They ring scales based on an almost inexhaustible combination of numbers. Great skill is required to become an accomplished bellringer. Peals usually run from eight to 12 bells and require one person to ring each bell -- sometimes two on the largest. A split-second miss in tugging the rope will foul up the sequence. Mr. Theobald is currently interested in persuading Old North Church in Boston to make some structural changes in its tower so that Paul Revere's bells can be hung during the U.S. bicentennial in 1976. The firm he works for, London's Whitechapel Bell Foundry, cast the original Liberty Bell and is casting 2,400 miniature and some full-size replica$ of that famous bell. When asked if the crack will be reproduced in the replicas, Mr. Theobald responded, "No, we leave bell cracking to Americans." Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (B-BOS-12C-73-DS)

Citing Watergate, the Mid-East war and the energy crisis, Mr. Graham termed 1973 "a very convulsive year.'' "Millions of Americans are confused, discouraged, cynical, frightened and disillusioned,'' he said in his sermon, but, he went on, there is hope in the message of Christmas. It was the 42nd White House worship service since Mr. Nixon took office. Mr. Graham has preached at three of them, including the first one just after the 1969 inauguration, and he shared a platform at another one.

Howard Woodson, Jr., who is also pastor of Shiloh Baptist church in Trenton, has been unanimously designated the New Jersey Assembly's overwhelming Democratic majority to be Speaker of the Assembly, the first black to hold that post. The Mercer County Democrat, who was minority Assembly leader in 1968-69, is believed to be the first member of his race to reach a major leadership position in any state legislature in the country, at least since post-Reconstruction times. A former president of the Council of Churches of Greater Trenton, Mr. Woodson has been pastor of Shiloh Baptist church for more than 20 years. He is 57, a widower and has two children.
