Lone Worshipper Halts Clash of Church Factions
In York on June 26 a threatened clash among Russian Greek Catholics over cathedral ownership was averted when a lone worshipper knelt in the rain and prayed for peace. Police kept order as the crowd of 600 calmed, but the peacemaker’s identity remained unknown. The dispute stems from a protracted church controversy reaching the courts, with conflicting judicial rulings leaving the cathedral under dispute.
