Title: NCC president visits, denounces Berlin Wall.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-30794 NCC PRESIDENT VISITS, DENOUNCES BERLIN WALL BERLIN -- The infamous wall built by Communists to divide East and West Berlin stands as a “silent and tragic witness” to man’s failure to understand and accept the Christian gospel, it was stated by Bishop Reuben H. Mueller of Indianapolis, Ind., president of the National Council of Churches, as he viewed the barricade (top photo) during a Holy Week visit to U.S. military personnel in Spain and Germany. In addition to bringing greetings from hometown churches to servicemen and women, the Evangelical United Brethren Church leader met with government and religious leaders in Germany and preached at an ecumenical service at West Berlin’s Kaiser Friedrich Memorial church (bottom photo). In his sermon he said it was his desire, and that of the U.S. government, that he spend Good Friday through Easter in Berlin because the city “with its wall and problems is for all of Christianity the City of Good Friday.” He declared: “Whoever shares concern about mankind’s future must share Berlin’s concerns.” The American churchman was welcomed to Germany by Bishop Otto Dibelius of the Evangelical Church of Berlin-Brandenburg (seated right, bottom photo).

Title: 200,000 at German Catholic congress.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-31557 200,000 AT GERMAN CATHOLIC CONGRESS STUTTGART, Germany -- Concelebration of an out-door Latin Rite Mass -- the first in Germany--marked the opening of the 80th German Catholic Day Congress (Katholikentag) in Stuttgart. Top photo shows Jozef Cardinal Frings, Archbishop of Cologne, and 20 priests with whom he concelebrated the Mass. Photo below shows the closing rally in which 200,000 persons gathered in a demonstration of religious unity. The rally featured a Bible-centered "Word of God" service. To emphasize Scripture as a "pillar of fair," a Bible was placed on an elevated platform, flanked by a huge Crucifix. Prayers were said not only for the Church but for all non-Catholic Christians. Another Mass also was concelebrated on the closing day by Archbishop Corrado Bafile, Papal Nuncio to Germany, and 20 other clergy. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (KV-BER-9B-64-NAB)
