Bishop John M. Allin of Mississippi, in preparation for his duties as 23rd Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, recently attended the Convocation of American Churches in Europe, held in Rome. At a dinner, Bishop Allin, center, Bishop Edmond Browning, left, bishop in charge of the churches in Europe, and Cardinal Willebrands, head of the Vatican Secretariate for Promoting Christian Unity, were fitted out with aprons inscribed "They also serve." All three church leaders promptly put them to use by going from table to table helping serve the guests. (Photo by: Jeannie Willis)
