Sensation at St Marks Episcopal Church Service
A man about 50 caused a stir at St Mark's Episcopal Church Sunday by breaking down in tears during the service and moving through the aisles. He read the organist's hymn book with interest and attended the closing hymn before returning to his pew, described as harmless and nonviolent. He walked to the chancel to read the hymnal with Dr Rafter, drawing attention for his unusual behavior.
