We had similar experiences in Cincinnati.  Archbishop
Bernadin and priests from Xavier University were made
successful efforts in the 1970's to lead their people
out of a ghetto mentality.  

It was not unusual in that City to be invited to
participate in pulpit exchanges and a variety of
teaching and outreach efforts.
