Episcopal bishops invalidate ordination of women priests
In Chicago the House of Bishops voted 126 to 10 to invalidate the ordination of 11 women as Episcopal priests and condemned the bishops who took part. The body urged no further ordinations until the 1976 General Convention decides on women’s priesthood. Some charges against three participating bishops were dropped afterward.

Bishop's Fund nears Burlington diocesan goal
Burlington area reports show the Bishop's Fund for Charities and Development has collected 227,123.95 toward a 550,000 goal across seven districts including Burlington Bellows Falls Bennington Montpelier Newport Rutland and St. Albans. Monsignor Bresnehan notes nearly 90 percent of calls remain and expects visits to boost totals, while last year’s campaign highlights deferred giving and substantial parish participation. The drive funds over 60 percent of the diocese's operations as Catholics weigh evangelization against social justice themes discussed at Bangkok and Lausanne.
