Jaafar Mohamed Nimeiri of the Sudan, Vice President James Greene of Liberia and Foreign Minister Vernon Mwaanga of Zambia. The leaders reportedly agreed that a "special status" for Jerusalem should be discussed at the Geneva peace talks.

Title:Description:Text transcribed from caption: C-45001 PONTIFF TRAVELS BY CARRIAGE VATICAN CITY -- Pope Paul VI waves to the crowd as he leaves St. Peter's Square in a horse-drawn carriage for his annual Dec. 8 trip to the center of Rome. Ordinarily, the pontiff travels by limousine from the Vatican to the Piazza de Espagna [sic. Piazza di Spagna] to lay a wreath at the foot of a statue of the Virgin Mary on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. This year, however, there was a special ban on private motor traffic in Italy on Dec. 8, a national holiday as well as a Holyday. The driving ban, as well as a prohibition against all Sunday driving, was part of the government's response to the worldwide energy crisis.

Title:Description:Text transcribed from caption: C-44997 'THE PEOPLE SHOP' NEW YORK -- Stopping for a sip of coffee and a moment's escape from the hustle and bustle of holiday-time New York City is routine in a third floor oasis of tranquility and fellowship appropriately dubbed "the people shop." That's not really its name. It's really The Grail Shop, at 6 West 37th St. in Manhattan, a commercial enterprise of sorts. But instead of "business as usual," it is a place to sit, to share, to sip coffee, to meet old friends -- and occasionally to purchase a gift, a religious article. All the profits from the shop, which sells a plethora of cards, sculptures, mobiles, books and records, go to Grailville, a farm-like center near Loveland, Ohio, that serves as headquarters for the Catholic lay women's organization. The Grail, founded in the Netherlands in the 1920s by five women students and a Jesuit priest, has become an international lay women's movement whose simple aim has been to "bring Christ to the world."

For almost two years she has served as organist at the Glacier Way United Methodist church in Ann Arbor. "Playing at Glacier Way is my way of acting out the spirit of the ecumenical movement," she says.

Title:Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-45133 CHURCHMEN RUN CAR POOL MONTCLAIR, N.J. -- It is a typical weekday morning at Watchung Plaza in Montclair, N.J. -- the "rendezvous point" for commuters who ride the car pool to the Interchurch Center in New York City. The Rev. J. Martin Bailey, editor of A.D. magazine, stands on the sidewalk dispatching the 30 or so church executives and secretaries into the three station wagons owned by the pool. Dr. Tracey Jones, a United Methodist official, prepares to drive one of the cars on the 22-mile ride to work. So begins another morning operation of the Montclair Riverside Car Pool, Inc., one of the oldest and most successful car pools in the area. Members of the pool buy one share of corporation stock (currently valued at $95, up from the initial $1 price offering in 1962 when the group became incorporated). The monthly charge is $30 a person, which is estimated to be less than half the cost of using public transportation for the round trip. Mr. Bailey, whose magazine is published jointly by the United Church of Christ and the United Presbyterian Church, said the Interchurch Center has a large number of car pools and first priority is given to the pools for parking facilities. The Montclair car pool believes that by operating three station wagons -- instead of the 25 or more individual cars -- they are conserving more than 500 gallons of gasoline a week.

Title:Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-45112 ECUADOR'S SHANGRI-LA VILCABAMBA, ECUADOR -- Four senior Vilcabambans share a joke in the town's central plaza. The quartet members, whose average age is 117 years, are, from left: Gabriel Erazo, 120 years old; Michael Quezcela, a relative youngster at 103; Miguel Carpio, 123, and Abelino Armijos, 125. Scientists studying the Vilcabambans attribute their longevity to environment and diet. The valley is 5,000 feet high and has a nearly constant temperature of 72 degrees. These conditions keep the valley free of the tropical fauna that thrives in the surrounding lowland jungle. There are no snakes, no spiders, no dangerous animals of any kind -- not even mosquitoes. Their diet is low in animal fats and consists mainly of cheese, fruit and vegetables. Their daily calorie intake is 1,700, about half the consumption of an American eating three full meals a day. This gives them plenty of nutrition without obesity. Combined with a relative absence of stress, these conditions have created a place where the scourges of cancer, heart disease, mental illness and ulcers are virtually unknown.

Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-45104 ARCHBISHOP RAMSEY NEARS RETIREMENT LONDON -- Archbishop Michael Ramsey, whose retirement as Anglican Primate of England is expected to be announced within a few months, will go down in history as her Church's greatest seeker for Church unity. Archbishop Ramsey will be 70 on Nov. 14, 1974. He was consecrated Archbishop of Canterbury in 1961 and in the space of those 13 years he has strived harder than anybody to bring the Churches together. Three particular strands of unity wove their way through his life -- linking the Church of England with British Methodism, with the Orthodox Churches and with the Roman Catholic Church. Although he suffered a setback when, in 1969 and 1972, a plan of union with Methodism failed to pass in the Church of England, his efforts at achieving closer ties with Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism have been highly successful.

Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-45099 'OLD NORTH' ANNIVERSARY IS ECUMENICAL BOSTON -- Leaders of Boston's Roman Catholic, Protestant and Jewish communities, along with public officials, joined in a unique "Ecumenical Service of Thanksgiving" commemorating the 250th anniversary of Boston's historic Christ church, popularly known as "Old North." Participants included (left to right) retired Episcopal Bishop Frederic C. Lawrence, Roman Catholic Cardinal Humberto Medeiros of Boston, Bishop John W. Burgess of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts, the Rev. Robert W. Golledge, Vicar of Old North, and Presiding Bishop John E. Hines of the Episcopal Church. The theme of the service was Old North's "Years of Freedom, Years of God," and it launched the church's observance of the national bicentennial. It was in Christ Church's slender steeple that Paul Revere sighted the lanterns that warned of the approach of British redcoats on April 18, 1775. During the service, Cardinal Medeiros read a cable from Cardinal Jan Willebrands, head of the Vatican's Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity, expressing Pope Paul's best wishes and blessings to those present, as well as his thanks to the cardinal for participating in the ecumenical service.

Title:Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-45093 WHO'S NO. 1? NEW ORLEANS -- Notre Dame's Fighting Irish leave little doubt as to which team they feel is best in the country as they hoist coach Ara Parseghian atop their shoulders following their thrilling 24-23 victory over Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. The New Year's Eve battle between the two undefeated, untied teams took place in New Orleans and resulted in what may have been the greatest game in college football history. With the victory and the subsequent picking of Notre Dame as the nation's No. 1 college football team by sports writers, Parseghian, a 50-year-old Armenian Presbyterian, joined two of the greatest of coaches, the late Knute Rockne and Frank Leahy, among the hierarchy of Notre Dame immortals.

Title:Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-45092 NEIGHBORING SHRINES RELEASE: Weekend of Jan. 11, 1974 with RNS 'Week In Religion' Two of the world's major religious shrines are neighbors in the Old City of Jerusalem. The Western Wall (foreground), a small remnant of the fortifications that once surrounded the magnificent Temple of Herod, still stands as a symbol of Jewish agony. Since Byzantine times, Jewish custom has directed the faithful to pray daily at the Wall, and their mournful " chants and prayers prompted visitors to call it the Wailing Wall. It is Judaism's most sacred shrine. Above it is a broad raised platform, called by Arabs the Haram Ash-Sharif, the Noble Sanctuary-- the actual site of the Herodian Temple, built, according to Jewish tradition, upon the rock where Abraham had been prepared to sacrifice his son Isaac. Surrounding the top of this scarred and pitted rock and dominating the walled square mile of Old Jerusalem is the seventh century glittering gold and mosaic Mosque of Omar, better known as the Dome of the Rock. The octagonal structure has special meaning for Muslims -- it is Islam's third holiest shrine after Mecca and Medina -- because of the famous tale of the Prophet Mohammed's Night Journey to Jerusalem, and his ascent to the Seventh Heaven from the pinnacle of the Temple's sacred rock.
