Show St. Paul's Chapel W Most Faiths Still Refuse Women Place in Clergy i0f S ,i j, Center Finds Success I By Peter Scarlet Tribune Churth Editor Sale are up and Mass attendance has increased at St. Pauls Chapel and I Catholic Information Center, 226 S. Main, said the Rev. Frederick T. Draeger, director of the center. I The center, nearly four years old, provides daily Mass, information about 'i the Catholic Church, and sells religious books and articles. j I Another benefit of the store, said the priest, is that it attracts visitors who ) would otherwise probably not stop by. Enter a Store is sometimes It easier for people j seeking consultation or confession to enler a store rather than a reception room," he said. The number of persons attending the . daily noon Mass at the chapel have also t increased since the center was first V opened, said Father Draeger, a Paulist Father. Mass is said in the chapel at 12:10 p.m. Monday through Saturday, he said, and the average weekday attendance is now 35 to 40 persons. Because many downtown workers have Saturdays off, attendance on Saturdays averages between 15 to 25 persons. These averages. Father Draeger said, have remained fairly steady since last fall. However, attendance was higher during advent before Christmas and during Lent. Both are periods of preparation for events high on the Christian liturgical calendar and Increased religious attendance at Mass is traditionally emphasized at these times. During the Lenten period, Father Draeger said an 11:30 a.m. Mass was offered at the center each day as well as the 12:10 p.m. one. On Lunch Hours of those Many attending Mass do so on their lunch hours, Father Draeger said. The priest is assisted at each Mass either by a permanent deacon or a minister of communion. This way, there is someone available to help Father Draeger distribute communion to the faithful so the Mass can be completed before the lunch hour is over. Father Draeger, who is also the administrator of the Sacred Heart Parish, 174 E. 9th South, became director of the center in 1975 after serving 10 years as pastor of St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Layton. One of the most significant things hes noticed since starting at the center, the priest said, is that a number of the alienated generation of the 1960s are now mag searching for something. And in some cases, he said, this search has culminated in a return to the traditional religion. seem to be realizing that theyve been going nowhere, he said. Many seem interested in reMany establishing once several connections with traditional religion. he said the center has always had a small number of visitors who express an interest in learning about the Catholic Church so they can, perhaps, join it. Our policy is to give religious instruction on an individual basis, Father Draeger said. Although he currently sets aside time to handle appointments for seven inquirers, he said the weekly average is between three to five persons. Special to The Tribune Less than half the NEW YORK Christian denominations in the United States ordain women to the ministry and in those that do, women make up only about 4 percent of all clergy. These statistics were recently revealed In a report by the National Council of Churches. of all women clerNearly y gy are in Pentecostal or religious organizations such as the Salvation Army. Only 17.4 percent are in major Protestant organizations. 10,470 Ordained The report, which places the total number of women ordained to the full ministry at 10,470, was compiled by the NCC Office of Research, Evaluation and Planning. Full ministry in the report means administering the parish or congregation like a regular pastor or priest. Constant H. Jaequet collected the data for the report, titled Women Ministers in 1977. It covers 211 Christian religious bodies. Of these, 76 ordain women, 87 do not and 10 such as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, Jehovahs Witnesses are in a and Friends (Quakers) special category. The major Protestant denominations with the largest proportion of membership supply a disproportionately smaller number of women clergy than other groups whose theology and tradition was, from the very beginning, supportive of equal status for women in their denominational structures, Mr. Jaequet said. The Rev. Frederick Draeger in a small retail shop at Highest Numbers removes crucifix from display St. Pauls Chapel downtown. The United Church of Christ, with a total of 9,607 ordained ministers for a 1.8 million membership, has the highest 400.

The believers crowding the tiny temple for the festival of the white moon are old. They sit in crumpled clothes along the far wall, fingering beads and staring vacantly. Of the lamas, most wear glasses to read the scrolled chants. One wears hearing aidvon both ears. We attach great importance to training new lamas, Gamboyev said. Permission Required The lamas are trained in Ulan Bator, Mongolia, and the church must get permission to allow prospective lamas to leave the country. In the 1960s Buddhist leaders feared the lamas were dying off too quickly and appealed to the government. Last year, six new lamas graduated and five more are nearing completion of their training. Seven more have also been sent to begin their studies. But even such small numbers are a victory in comparison to the Stalin years, when more than 36 temples were ruthlessly shut down and the lamas forced to scatter. Hard Time Our country went through a hard "time, Gamboyev said of the 1930s. At those times there were people who could not accept the new changes, who could not understand the new times, he said, speaking in the Buryat language through a translator. After the pressure subsided, one monastery was reopened and Ivolgin Datsan was built in 1946. Afger the war, Gamboyev returned to his post in the Buddhist church, but keeping his small band together is a battle against time. In the czarist days, with the 10,000 lamas circulating among the people. Buddhism was strong. But the young far removed from contact with the no longer build up and renew church the ranks.

Inside, the air is warm, filled with the sweet smell of Incense. Seventeen robed lamas, or priests, sit at long tables at the foot of a statue of Buddha, murmuring Buddhist chants. The Buddhist lamas, once numbering 10,000 in the days of the czar, have dwindled to a handful now. 28 Monks This Ivolgin Datsan monastery, about 20 miles from Ulan Ude, is the Buddhist center in the Soviet Union. But there are only 28 monks living here. There are no official figures on the number of Buddhists in the Soviet Union, but it is estimated there are about 50,000. This is a very delicate matter, we cannot keep records, said Bandido Gam-boyeHambo Lama Jambal-Dorj- i head of the Buddhist church.
