Adoption as a path to population balance and family growth
The piece argues adoption serves more than infertile couples, enabling two-child or larger families without increasing birth rates. It highlights the urgent need for adoptive homes for black and racially mixed children, noting interracial adoptions rose to about 2,000 last year. Sidney Callahan frames adoption as a spiritual and social good within Christian values.

Episcopal Women Plan 1970 Triennial Meeting
About 450 women plus delegates and visitors from across the United States and overseas will gather in Houston October 11 to 16 for the Episcopal Church women’s Triennial Meeting. The event runs parallel to the General Convention with sessions in Houston venues and attendance projected above 5,000, swelling to nearly 20,000 for opening services. The meeting may shape whether women can be seated as deputies, ending male‑female exclusion at official meetings, a historic shift tied to the broader convention that includes women in planning with the House of Bishops and House of Deputies. A. Travers Ewell of South Miami presides as agenda committee cochairman.

American Cardinal John J. Wright, head of the Congregation for the Clergy, defends the Curia as a necessary central body of the Catholic Church.
