About this Collection

Conceived by journalist Louis Minsky (1909-1957), Religious News Service (RNS) was established in 1934 as an affiliated but independently managed agency of the National Conference of Jews and Christians (later the National Conference of Christians and Jews), and was dedicated to providing authoritative and bias-free news about religion and ethics to both the secular and religious press. This collection contains photographs documenting Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, and Jewish groups. Coverage of Protestants (especially mainline Protestants) and Catholics constitutes the bulk of the images. View the collection guide to learn more. Digitization of some of the images in this collection made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Featured image: Father James Groppi, the civil rights activist priest from Milwaukee, and militant leader Rennie Davis are taken into custody during an anti war demonstration a block from the White House.

Title:
'Revelations' from the Rev. Moon.
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: PC-46042 ‘REVELATIONS’ FROM THE REV. MOON NEW YORK -- Intensity shows on the face of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon as he makes his much publicized appearance at New York’s Madison Square Garden. The Korean preacher, founder of the Unification Church, declared time and again during his two and one-half hour discourse that “the messiah” will come soon and establish the “physical kingdom of God on earth.” This new messiah will be the same one that Christians believe came in Jesus Christ, the evangelist asserted, making veiled references to “new revelations” concerning the messiah.
