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.

The cosmopolitan throng consisted of Caucasians, Hawaiians, Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, Negroes and Filipinos.

In response to his invitation to "make decisions for Christ" an estimated 2,000 marched to the pulpit.

Title:
Billy Graham Crusade.
Description:
18,500 Jam Garden for Graham Crusade. New York--Some 18,500 persons jammed Madison Square Garden to hear Evangelist Billy Graham open his six-weeks New York crusade. The evangelist spoke for 45 minutes from a nine-foor platform erected at one end of the huge arena. He will give a series of Gospel sermons every night during the crusade. After his address at the 90-minute rally, some 485 men, women and teenagers approached the rostrum to make "decisions for Christ," the largest number to do so at the opening of any Graham crusade in this country. Mr. Graham was invited to come this city by the Protestant Council of the City of New York.
