PRINCETON, Mass. -- An ecumenical walk to the summit of 2,006-foot Mount
Wachusett near Princeton in Central Massachusetts brought together Roman
Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox Christians. Participating the mountain-top
services of thanksgiving, emphasizing the spirit of the 1975 Holy Year themes
of renewal and reconciliation, were, from left: Father Wayne F. Benton of
Prince of Peace Roman Catholic church, Princeton; Father John J. Bagley,
chairman of the Worcester Catholic Diocese coordinating committee for the
Holy Year; Roman Catholic Bernard J. Flanagan of the Worcester, Mass.,
diocese; and the Rev. William B. Clark, executive director of the Worcester
County Ecumenical Council. More than 500 persons climbed a ski trail to take
part in the service and listened to Scriptural readings and hymn singing at
stops along the way. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO By Edward
