Senator Lyndon johnson was
baptized as a boy in the Chris

to the Disciples of Christi in
his home town of johnson
City. Tex, where he still holds
membership. When he attends
services in Washington, it is
usually with his wife and
daughters, who are EPISCOPAL

Adlai Stevenson, a ong-time

cause there was no Unitarian
Church in the area. His mother
was a Unitarian, his father a

Senator Stuart Symington is
an Episcopalian, a member OF
Christ Church Cathedral, in
st. Louis, Mo. In Washington
he attends Washington Cathe-

Among the Republicans:
Vice President Nixon is 6
Quaker. But in Washington
he and his wife quite regu-
