Virtually all of the city's priests

Cathedral.
.'It is an outrageous shock to
read that a scientist said that
God Is a myth Cardinal Hayes
said. There is no conflict be-
tween science and religion.
The Rev Cranston Brenton, one
of the few clergymen in the
country who holds a degree OF
Master of Science. speaking at
the Cathedral of st. John The
Divine, said: r
