Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-46133 SCHOOLS FIRE-BOMBED IN BOOK DISPUTE CHARLESTON, W. Va. -- Students arriving at Kanawha County's Midway Elementary School are greeted by a burned-out door after it and another elementary school were fire-bombed as violence escalated in the controversy over the use of supplemental English textbooks in public schools in the county. Both bombs exploded in the schools before any children had arrived. Pupils were taken to neighboring schools for classes. Demonstrations against the books began with the start of the school year in September. Protesters have charged that the materials are anti-Christian and anti-American. Statements from protesters indicated that they have adopted an intransigent attitude and will not wait for a review committee, appointed by the county board of education, to officially determine the future of the books.

Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-46112 DISAGREEMENT OVER ORDINATIONS A Jesuit theologian said that an article he wrote in 1966 was recently “misinterpreted" by an Episcopal bishop who cited it as support for invalidating the ordinations of 11 women deacons. Father Frans Josef van Beeck, S.J. (left), associate professor of systematic theology at Boson College, said that Episcopal Bishop Arthur A. Vogel of West Missouri (right) had not drawn the proper conclusions from his 1966 article. In his report to the Episcopal House of Bishops in August, which voted to declare the women’s ordinations invalid, Bishop Vogel said that, based on Father van Beeck’s article, “validity (of ordination) means ecclesiastical recognition." The Jesuit said that it was “obvious" that Bishop Vogel attributed “much more substance" to his definition of validity than he himself had intended for it to have, and that the “warranted" conclusion from the article would be that the women’s ordinations “was irregular, but not invalid in the traditional sense." Bishop Vogel has not replied that it remains his belief that he did not misinterpret Father van Beeck. “More importantly," he continued, “neither my advisement nor the action of the House of Bishops depended in any positive way on the theological position of Father van Beeck."

Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-46111 WALKS AROUND THE WORLD FOR CHILDREN JANESVILLE, Minn. -- Dave Kunst (right), the man who spent four years in a walk around the world and returned home as a subject of controversy, walks through Janesville, Minn., with some friends as he nears his hometown of Waseca, where he began his trek in 1970. Although he had acquired an “anti-hero” image by some comments he made in an interview he gave to a reporter for the Minneapolis Tribune on his way back, Mr. Kunst was besieged by autograph-seekers as he re-entered Waseca. Mr. Kunst, 35, undertook his walk with the purpose of raising funds for the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF). In 1970, he set out with his brother, John, who was later killed by bandits in Afghanistan. He returned briefly in 1973 and then set out again to complete the 15,000-mile walk. The controversy arose when he commented in the interview that he thought marriage was “a bad idea," and said he had asked for a divorce from his wife, Jan. The Roman Catholic layman was also criticized for saying that he didn't want a church to tell him how to act or what to believe, and that he had "no idea there were so many dumb foreigners in the world.” Credit Must Read: Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (B-MIN-10B-74-DS)Creator:United Press International.

Title:Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-46102 CATHOLIC-BAPTIST LIAISON NEWNAN, Ga. -- Father Wilfred (Will) Steinbacher (right), deep south regional worker for the Roman Catholic Glenmary Home Missioners, discusses his work as liaison between Catholics and Southern Baptists with two Baptist ministers. The Rev. Eugene Briscoe (left), state student secretary for the Georgia Baptist Convention, and the Rev. Willard Brown, pastor of the Macedonia Baptist Church in Newnan, Ga., look at a map of Christian denominations in the U.S. with Father Steinbacher. The liaison post is fairly new for Father Steinbacher but not for the Cincinnati-based Glenmary order, which has conducted a liaison program between Southern Baptists and Catholics for about seven years. "We're trying to create a sense of understanding between Baptists and Catholics, because there was widespread misunderstanding and mistrust between them," said Father Steinbacher, whose order was organized about 35 years ago to minister in town and country churches in the South, especially Appalachia. The Glenmary plan for creating Catholic-Baptist interchange, Father Steinbacher explained, has “three prongs" -- two of which are now underway. The basic "prong" is aimed at the grass roots, where Glenmary priests have sought to bring the laity and posters of both denominations together for dialogues. A typical form is a two-day meeting of about 40 people, which includes Baptist and Catholic worship services and a series of group discussions. Another "prong" has been the dialogues between Catholic and Baptist leaders over the past three years and a "prong" still in development would involve a theological dialogue involving subjects of mutual interest, scholarly papers and three or four days of discussion in depth on the things which Baptists and Catholics hold in common and the things on which they disagree.

Title:Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-46067 ‘LOOK MOMMY, IT FITS’ WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio -- A little girl on a new pair of shoes which she will receive from the “Base Chapel Shoe Program." Each year since 1967, the Chaplain’s Office at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio has sponsored the program to provide shoes at Christmas time for needy children in a three-county area surrounding the base. County nurses identify candidates using their visits to families and discreetly inform the Chaplain’s Office. Children are taken to certain shoe stores and are assisted in the selection of shoes by their parents, without any indication that the cost of their shoes is being defrayed by the program. From an initial total of $2,000 in 1967, the program has steadily grown to the 1973 record of over $29,000. Since everyone works in the project as a volunteer, there is no administrative overhead. Thus, the money last year was directly used to purchase 2,665 pairs of shoes for children in 661 different families. Records of last year’s program show that donations came from such sources as local Roman Catholic and Protestant churches, a Christian book store, and such local businesses as beauty shops, motels, and banks. Also, money is raised through “white elephant" sales and other fund-raising projects. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (C-WP-9D-74-DS)Creator:United States. Air Force.

Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-46065 MAP SHOWS ‘UNCHURCHED’ POPULATION WASHINGTON, D.C. -- This map of the continental United States shows, on a county-by-county basis, the percentage of the “unchurched" population as of 1971. The term “unchurched" in this case refers to all those persons who are not on the church rolls of any Christian denomination. The dark grey areas on the map indicate counties where more than 60 percent of the population are not on Christian church membership rolls, while the light grey areas are counties where 40 to 60 percent can be considered unchurched. The white areas have been, according to the data available, up to 40 percent of the population belonging to a Christian denomination. The map was prepared by the Glenmary Research Center, Washington, D.C., a Roman Catholic agency, and is based on data on church membership rolls found in “Churches and Church Membership in the United States: 1971" issued earlier this year. The study was compiled by Douglas W. Johnson, staff associate at the National Council of Churches’ Office of Research, Evaluation and Planning, New York; Paul R. Picard, director of research, Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod, St. Louis; and Father Bernard Quinn, director of the Glenmary Research Center. While the data contained in the report encompasses just 80.9 percent of Christian church members, on the map county percentages of the unchurched were adjusted downwards to compensate for the unreported 19.2 percent. Also, since some denominations counted all baptized persons, including infants, and others did not, for the purposes of the map, membership statistics have been adjusted so that children of members in denominations that do not count infants are not included among the unchurched.
