Title:Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-46576 A CUP OF BLESSING (First Of Three Photos) NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Newhallville is a low and middle income section of New Haven which is populated by 15,000, 90 per cent of whom are black. After a 1968 riot, leaders of local black churches decided the community must have a minister to meet its total needs. As a result, CUP was born. The Christian Union Program has gained national attention and support because of its success in ministering to the community. Local churches and religious organizations, several denominations, and Yale Divinity School are all participating. CUP began in one storefront building. Now it has a row of storefronts on a block in Newhallville. One door opens to a daycare center. Another leads to a clothing and food store. A third opens to a book store where both new and used books can be purchased at reasonable prices. A main door is the area for work training and counseling. Other ministries are performed outside the center. They include ministries in a nearby prison, a home for the aged, youth programs and a camp outside town, assisting people to buy groceries, etc. (SEE ALSO RNS PHOTOS PC-46577 & 78) Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO by Don Rutledge (DR-GA-12D-74-DS)Creator:Rutledge, Don, 1930- (photographer)Subject names:Religious News Service--Archives., Christian Unity Program (New Haven, Conn.)Topics:Interdenominational cooperation--Connecticut--New Haven., African American neighborhoods--Connecticut--New Haven., Church work with African Americans--Connecticut--New Haven., Church work with the poor--Connecticut--New Haven.Geographic subjects:New Haven (Conn.)URL:https://digital.history.pcusa.org/islandora/object/islandora:362239

Once a week, students give up a full meal with all the trimmings and dessert, and dine, instead, on a simpler, cheaper meal. The world food crisis is reviving one of the most ancient and universal religious practices: fasting. In congregations, conferences of bishops and on college campuses, strong, new appeals urge affluent Americans to skip meals and observe fast days.

Description:Text transcribed from caption: P-46625 BRINGS GREETINGS FROM ‘PHILADELPHIA 11’ NASHVILLE -- Suzanne Hiatt, one of the 11 Episcopal women whose ordinations to the priesthood in Philadelphia last July were ruled invalid by the Episcopal hierarchy, brings greetings from the 11 women to the National Consultation of Ordained Women in the United Methodist Church, held at Scarritt College in Nashville. Ms. Hiatt asked for financial support to help meet expenses incurred in attempts to win recognition of the Philadelphia orders. She also urged the women to “work to get district superintendents and bishops elected in the United Methodist Church from among your own number.” Between 150 and 200 of the United Methodist women ministers attending the meeting called on their denomination, and especially the bishops, to recognize and support the Episcopal women. In a petition circulated at the consultation, bishops were urged to invite the 11 women to become full ministers in the United Methodist Church. The Nashville meeting brought together 300 of the 500 ordained women in the 10-million-member denomination.

Description:Text transcribed from caption: P-46624 SOVIET CHURCHMEN VISIT INDIA MADRAS, India -- Two prominent Soviet churchmen, Archbishop Yan Matulis (left) of the Lutheran Church of Latavia and Russian Orthodox Metropolitan Philaret Denisenko of Kiev and Galicia, recently visited India at the invitation of the National Christian Council of India. During their visit they went to New Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Madras. In Madras, they were given a public reception by the Church of South India and other churches and Christian associations. The two churchmen maintained that there is absolute freedom of worship for the 60 million Christians in the Soviet Union and that the government is not interested in how religion is practiced in families. The churches, they said, do not interfere in the political life of the state and confine themselves to religious activities. Churches in the Soviet Union are financially independent of the state and are self-supporting, which each denomination having its own theological schools or seminaries. Any preaching that is done, however, is done only within the churches. “We do not and cannot preach in the streets or any public place,” one of the churchmen explained.
