Title: Episcopal Bishop of Liberia.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: EPISCOPAL BISHOP OF LIBERIA #1797 NEW YORK -- The Rt. Rev. Bravid W. Harris, bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church’s Missionary District of Liberia, West Africa, (shown above) conferred here with Presiding Bishop Henry St. George Tucker at Church headquarters. The Episcopal Church has 3,052 communicants and about 2,500 church school pupils and numerically it is the largest church in Liberia. Bishop Harris, whose control extends over 57 churches and mission stations, said he was fortunate to visit the establishments even twice a year, owing to transportation difficulties in the 45,000 sq. mile country. “Along the coast I travel by surf-boat, a kind of sailing vessel which, of course, depends on the winds. It takes three days at best to travel 60 miles,” he said. “Travel to the interior, by river, is accomplished by dug-out canoe.” The Bishop went to West Africa last October. A native of Warrenton, N.C., he was rector of the Grace Episcopal Church, Norfolk, Va., for 19 years when he joined the Church’s National Council here as educational secretary for its Negro work. He plans to return to Liberia in two months. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (BH-NY-JOG-2C-6-A-E)

Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-46112 DISAGREEMENT OVER ORDINATIONS A Jesuit theologian said that an article he wrote in 1966 was recently “misinterpreted" by an Episcopal bishop who cited it as support for invalidating the ordinations of 11 women deacons. Father Frans Josef van Beeck, S.J. (left), associate professor of systematic theology at Boson College, said that Episcopal Bishop Arthur A. Vogel of West Missouri (right) had not drawn the proper conclusions from his 1966 article. In his report to the Episcopal House of Bishops in August, which voted to declare the women’s ordinations invalid, Bishop Vogel said that, based on Father van Beeck’s article, “validity (of ordination) means ecclesiastical recognition." The Jesuit said that it was “obvious" that Bishop Vogel attributed “much more substance" to his definition of validity than he himself had intended for it to have, and that the “warranted" conclusion from the article would be that the women’s ordinations “was irregular, but not invalid in the traditional sense." Bishop Vogel has not replied that it remains his belief that he did not misinterpret Father van Beeck. “More importantly," he continued, “neither my advisement nor the action of the House of Bishops depended in any positive way on the theological position of Father van Beeck."
