The change follows Vatican II reforms and faces multilingual pastoral challenges.

City Pastor Voices Dual View On Extravagant Churches
Rev Dr Bryant M Kirkland of Fifth Avenue Presbyterian in New York defends modern urban church needs while agreeing with critic Clyde Reid that large expenditures on church buildings can be excessive. He argues big downtown churches must offer comforts to attract worshippers amid urban life, housing, air conditioning, pew cushions, and amplification, while noting some believers favor simplicity. The piece links his stance to broader debate over church spending and mission.

Charity Begins at Home Described as Bible Libel
The article counters the common phrase charity begins at home as a misattribution to the Bible. It traces the line to Sir Thomas Browne and Richard Brinsley Sheridan, clarifying that the Bible uses agape for love and that alms giving was the real ancient practice. It cites Moses, Isaiah, and Jesus on aiding the poor, stressing motive and secrecy in giving.
