Description

The original release sheet reads: HISTORIC MEETING A day of historic import is written on the Church calendar at Vatican City. Dr. Arthur Michael Ramsey, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Pope Paul VI confer in the Sistine Chapel on steps that might be taken to bring Roman Catholics and Anglicans closer together. The schism that separated Catholics and English churchmen occurred in the 16th Century and never since have the two churches been so close in Ecumenical recognition of each other. OPERA'S NEW HOME New York's Metropolitan Opera has something to sing about - a spanking new home in Lincoln Center, the city's new cultural hub. For 83 years the Met has been housed in a massive Victorian structure further south - a forbidding pile that has echoed to the world's greatest voices. New, just as singers have become streamlined, so has the Opera House, now ready to carry on a great old tradition in new surroundings. AIN'T LOVE GRAND?
