Continued from page 1
One Protestant who attended the workshops is quoted as saying: ' 'I heard some Protestants remark that they were surprised that the discussion in a Catholic institution was as frank as it was. I personally had an excellent fellowship with the men here. I never did feel out of place at any time at St. John's Abbey."
