First Steps Toward Prayer Unison Across Denominations
United States moves toward Protestant and Roman Catholic worship using identical prayers. An ICET backed effort involves Lutherans, Methodists, Anglicans, Episcopalians, Catholics, Congregationalists, and Baptists from 20 countries. If adopted, some 100 million Christians in North America and beyond would recite the same prayers though rites differ. The plan includes a new Lutheran eucharistic rite around Easter and a new Catholic Mass English version dated March 22. Other denominations are considering the standardized prayers, with final adoption likely years away as bodies vote locally and regionally.

Medicaid Costs Rise From Use Not Rates, Speer Says
Kansas physician leader Dr. Leland Speer, president of the Kansas Medical Society, says Medicaid cost growth stems from more users, not higher medical charges. About 110,000 are eligible for a program funded for 89,000. Since Jan. 1 doctors face a 25 percent pay cut by the Welfare Board to extend the fiscal year ending June 30. Speer warns the state must choose between full funding or reducing recipients.
