A PHYSICAL THERAPIST at St. Mary Hospital, Athens, instructs professional nursers in the re
fresher course in the use of a galvanic-faradic generator.
Patients Increasing
At St. Mary’s, Athens
J Since opening the doors of
its new hospital in January,
1966, St, Mary’s Hospital, Ath
ens, has experienced a period
of rapid growth in the number
of in-patients and out-patients
as well as in the volume of ser
vices rendered.
There were several new ser
vice departments added to St.
Mary’s in its new facility; a
Physical Therapy Department
and a Nuclear Medicine Depart
ment. The Physical Therapy
Department has been by far the
fastest growing department with
a total of 5,200 treatments in
the past eight months compared
to only 1,600 treatments for the
same period during the last
fiscal year.
The accelerated number of
treatments being given has de
monstrated the increasing im-
| portance of the role of Physical
Therapy as a part of In-patient
I hospital care. The hospital also
I reports that the Emergency De
partment averages 300 patients
P per month more in 1967 than
1966.
The major expansion at St.
: Mary’s has not been in facili
ties or services, but in educa
tional programs for,employes,
students in health occupations,
^ and Neighborhood Youth Corps
■ trainees.
Particular notice can be given
to St. Mary’s Inservice Educa
tion Program. Confronted by
higher costs, a shortage of pro
fessional nurses, and the chang
ing character in nursing educa
tion, prudent administrators,
the nation over, are looking
favorably upon such programs.
Inservice Education does more
than educate staff members; it
helps ensure safer and better
service to patients. In addition,
St. Mary's co-sponsored a re
fresher course in nursing for
inactive professional nurses.
The aim is to provide oppor
tunity for inactive registered
nurses to review and update
nursing knowledge and skills
so that at the completion of the
course they can direct nursing
care to patients under the di
rection of a team leader or Head
Nurse.
During the past year St.
Mary’s cooperated with th<|
Athens Area Vocational School
and the Clarke County Board of
Education in establishing a
School of Practical Nursing
which has been approved by the
Georgia State Board of Nursing.
The students of practical nurs
ing receive their clinical teach
ing and clinical experience at
St. Mary’s. Upon completion
of the one-year program the
graduates are eligible for li-

Pope To Visit Turkey
By MSGR. JOHN P. DONNELLY
(NC NEWS SERVICE
VATICAN CITY (NC)—
"Prompted by “considerations of
grave importance and much
complexity,” Pope Paul VI an
nounced he will pay a two-day
visit to Turkey where he will
visit the ancient Christian
shrines at Ephesus and Istan
bul, and meet with Orthodox
Ecumenical Patriarch Athen-
agoras I of Constantinople (Is
tanbul).
The fifth' papal voyage outside
Italy is scheduled for July 25-
26.
The extraordinary gesture of
honor toward Patriarch Athena-
goras, who,is considered ‘‘first
among equals” of all Orthodox
prelates, was decided on for
several reasons, the Pope said.
Among them is the opportunity
to ’'discuss with him the best
way to promote theological and
canonical studies to smooth the
path toward the re-establish
ment of a perfect communion
between the Catholic and Or
thodox Churches, and to exa
mine together ways and means
to assure in the present cir
cumstances, with the help of a
joint understanding, not only the
safety but also the sacred and
special character of the Holy
Places in that locale which was
the fatherland of Christ, the
platform for the announcement
of the Gospel, the cradle of the
Church and the ideal hub around
which Christian hearts 1 re
volve.”
The Pope also linked his trip
with the celebration of the 19th
centenary of the martyrdoms
of Sts. Peter and Paul, which
he proclaimed a Year of Faith.
In visiting Istanbul—the an
cient city of Constantinople—
and Ephesus in southwest Tur
key near Izmir, (Smyrna), the
Pope said he wanted ‘‘to honor
in the dawn of this Year of
Faith, among the various illus
trious historical cities of that
oriental land, the memory of
the important ecumenical coun
cils held there and also at Ep
hesus the holy memory of the
most blessed Madonna there
, venerated,.” ... . „ **
I btotoo B 0o&<5 |
The first sight of the Church’s
21 ecumenical councils were all
held in what is now Turkey:
Nicea modern Iznik in 325 and
757; Constantinople in 381,553,-
680 and 869; Chalcedon (now ■
within the Asian section of Is
tanbul) in 451, and Ephesus in
431. Their doctrines are ac
cepted by both the RomanCath-
olic and Orthodox Churches.
The council at Ephesus de
fined the dogma that the Blessed
Virgin is the mother of God and
elaborated the teaching of the
truth of one divine person in
Christ in answer to the Nes-
torian heresy.
The city was an ancient trade
center on the Aegean Sea. ' It
became one of the most impor
tant centers for the spread of
Christianity under the bishop
ric “of the Apostle John, who is
believed to have written there at
least the Book of Revelation
(about 95 A.D.) and his three
epistles, ifnot the earlier fourth
Gospel as well. Most ancient
traditions say he lived into the
early second century—longer
than any other of Christ’s Apos
tles.
The same traditions strongly
support the belief that he took
Mary there to live with him after
she was entrusted to his care by
Christ from the cross. Some
say Mary died in Ephesus, but

others link this event with Jeru
salem’s "Upper Room” of the
G-ospeiSf which was probably
the earliest permaneHtipiaee of
Christian worship. The church
of the Dormitnen (or the "fall
ing asleep of Mary") atop Mount
Zion, which was damaged during
the recent Middle East war, is
held by some to be the site of
her death. Later traditions sug
gest Mary did not die at all, and
this conflict was left undecided
in 1950 when Pope Pius XII
defined the dogma of the As
sumption.
Ephesus is now in ruins and
there is little left of the an
cient basilica of St. John except
its pavement, under, which the
Apostle is believed to be buried.
T he council there was held in the
same basilica.
The Pope said he also wanted
to visit another ancient center of
Christianity in Turkey—An
tioch in the Southeastern corner
of the country near Lebanoh—
where, as the Acts of the Apos
tles states, ‘ disciples began
to be called Christians” Acts
11,26. He said it was impos
sible to arrange this however.

most important centers of an
cient Orthodoxy, Antioch is also

praised- Mrs. Graham for, “her

Saigh of the Melkite rite, and
Paul Cardinal Meouchi of the
Maronite rite.
A further object of the voyage
the Pope said, is to “meet at
Istanbul the authorities of that
nation and to pay' them our
homage.”
Since the capital of Turkey
is Ankara rather than Istan
bul,'this arrangement was con
sidered in Vatican circles as an
attempt to avoid political impli
cations during the visit by meet
ing representatives of the gov
ernment on “neutral ground."
Among these, according to re
ports from Turkey, will be Pre
sident Ceudet Sunay.
The 81-year-old Orthodox
patriarch and Pope Paul have
met only once before, while the
Pope was making his pilgrimage
to the Holy Land in January 19-
64. Since that time Patriarch
Athenagoras has often express
ed his desire to “return the
visit” in Rome, but has been
held back until now by several
factors. One is an uneasy re
lationship between the Greek
O rthodox Church and the Turk

the controversy with the Greek

THE GEORGIA BULLETIN, THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1967 3
4 Salvation-Service’
Is Offer By Church
VATICAN CITY (NC)—The
Church’s offering to the world
of today is “salvation and ser
vice,” Pope Paul VI told a
general audience.
Speaking on the Second Vati
can Council’s determination to
make the Church relevant to the
world of today, the Pope noted
that “the Church will seek to
draw close to tnen again, of-
fe ring them salvation, of which
it is The depository, and ser
vice, which man needs and wnich
in a way only the Church cah
give him.”
Stressing that all Catholics
make up the Church the Pope
then asked: How do Catholics,
how does the Church, draw close
to the world? “Though they
live together, the Christian and
the man of the world, do they
not go in opposite directions?
One seeks God and the other
the Kingdom of the earth.‘Are
not these two attitudes, these
two directions incompatible?"
The Pope cited an even more
serious objection to the
Church’s role within the world
and its attempt to draw closer
to it. “Does not the approach
to the contemporary world de
mand from the Church a pro
found change of all of its being;
of all of its doctrine, of all of
its moral law? There has been
talk of an ‘aggiornamento’: is it
then permitted to abandon tra
dition, dogma, philosphical dis
cipline and ecclesiastical
structures?”
