Title: Methodist bishops barred at Jackson church.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-30818 METHODIST BISHOPS BARRED AT JACKSON CHURCH JACKSON, Miss. -- Two Methodist bishops who were refused admit-tance to Galloway Methodist church in Jackson, Miss., on Easter Sunday, visit after the incident with the Rev. Wendell Taylor (right), pastor of the Central Methodist church (Negro), in the city. Bishop James K. Mathews of Boston (left) and Bishop Charles Golden of Nashville, Tenn., were blocked by ushers at both front and side doors of the Galloway church. On the same day, seven ministers were arrested as they and two Negro youths tried to enter Capitol Street Methodist church, where several integrated groups previously have been turned away. Bishop Mathews, commenting on the incident at Galloway church, said some onlookers made remarks relating to “our probable ancestry and our likely ultimate destination.” At the same time, he said, many white members “were bold enough” to greet them. “This took real courage on their part.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (DL-J-4A-64-NBM)
