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.

National evangelical group meets.
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: P-30856 NATIONAL EVANGELICAL GROUP MEETS CHICAGO -- Evangelist Billy Graham (left) addresses some 1,800 delegates at the National Association of Evangelicals’ annual meeting in Chicago. The noted Southern Baptist minister called on evangelical leaders to assume greater responsibility in solving the nation’s racial crisis. Behind him as he spoke was a banner with the meeting’s general theme, “Evangelicals Unashamed,” and a bi-racial choir. Right photo shows Dr. Jared F. Gerig of Fort Wayne, Ind., elected president of the NAE, which represents more than 40 conservative denominations with some 2,000,000 members. Dr. Gerig is president of Fort Wayne Bible College and a former head of his denomination, the Missionary Church Association. As NAE president, he succeeds Dr. Robert A. Cook, head of the King’s College, Briarcliff Manor, N.Y. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (NAE-4C-64-NAB)
