Title: Freedom Riders start jail terms in Florida.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-31371 FREEDOM RIDERS START JAIL TERMS IN FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Eight white and Negro clergymen arrested in 1961 in a sit-in integration attempt at a Tallahassee, Fla., airport restaurant went to jail there after three years of unsuccessful appeals. They chose 60-day sentences rather than paying $500 fines after Federal Court turned down a new appeal. Their case earlier went up to the U.S. Supreme Court but that tribunal refused to hear it. Denial of the appeal generally was on technical grounds. The clergymen, from left to right, are: the Rev. John W. Collier, pastor of Israel Memorial African Methodist Episcopal church, Newark, N.J.; the Rev. A. McRaven Warner, executive secretary of the Manhattan Division of the Protestant Council of the City of New York; Rabbi Martin Freedman of Temple B'nai Jeshurun, Paterson, N.J.; the Rev. Arthur L. Hardge of Hood Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Zion church, Providence, R.I.; Rabbi Israel Dressner of Temple Sharey Shalom, Springfield, N.J.; the Rev. Robert J. Stone of New York, assistant executive director of the Commission on Religion and Race of the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A.; Dr. Robert McAfee Brown, professor at Stanford University, Palo Alto, Cal., and nationally known United Presbyterian theologian who was a delegate observer at the second session of the Vatican Council; and the Rev.

Title: Episcopalians worship in 800-year-old monastery.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-31556 EPISCOPALIANS WORSHIP IN 800-YEAR-OLD MONASTERY MIAMI, Fla. -- The Rev. Harold L. Batchelor, pastor of a Protestant Episcopal mission congregation in Miami Beach, strolls through an 800-year-old former Spanish Catholic monastery and its grounds where his parishioners are holding worship services. Originally built in 1141, the Cisterician [Cistercian] monastery was purchased in 1925 by the late William Randolph Hearst and shipped to this country in 11,700 packing cases. The structure remained dismantled and crated for 27 years until 1952 when the monastery was bought from the Hearst estate by two laymen. They reassembled the 2,400 tons of limestone, creating the old monastery on a six-acre tract as a tourist attraction. Now they have agreed to let the St. John the Divine Episcopal Mission use the monastery's refectory (dining hall) for worship. It has been converted into a 90-seat chapel. Mr. Batchelor hopes eventually to purchase the entire monastery compound. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (ACT-MIA-9B-64-N AB)

Title: Swinging young pastor.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-30500 SWINGING YOUNG PASTOR ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- While clergymen never have confined their ministries exclusively to sanctuary and pulpit, recent years have seen an increasing number of young pastors putting a new emphasis on contacts and activities far beyond the traditional religious scene -- into jazz joints and espresso coffee houses. Such a man is the Rev. William Patton, former assistant pastor at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church at St. Petersburg, Fla., where he combined his parish-pulpit duties with an active ministry in the gymnasium. An award-winning gymnast himself (many first-place honors in Florida meets and high placement at the National Gymnastic Clinic), Mr. Patton coached young acrobats of the local Police Athletic League. This, he says, is "one of the most important things I do -- counseling with the younger people." He maintains that the athletic avocation opens the door to contacts and conversations with young people which would be impossible in clerical collar alone. Now a chaplain at Duke University, Durham, N.C, the pastor continues his swinging trapeze ministry. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (GT-SP-1D-64-NBM)

Title: Tampa Protestant center aids Cuban refugees.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-30508 TAMPA PROTESTANT CENTER AIDS CUBAN REFUGEES TAMPA, Fla. -- Though the heavy flow of refugees out of Castro-dominated Cuba has stopped, the needs of thousands who reached the U.S. mainland continue. At Tampa, Fla, a Protestant Cuban Refugee Center -- supported by seven denominations, several civic groups and individuals -- has operated for three years, providing assistance in the form of direct aid, as seen in the distribution of blankets to youngsters (top photo), and through such activities as English classes (bottom photo), to aid the newcomers in their transition to a new way of life. Miss Agnes Malloy, a Methodist missionary in Cuba for nearly 20 years, directs operations at the Tampa center, which has aided 5,115 refugees since its establishment.

Title: Tampa Protestant center aids Cuban refugees.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-30508 TAMPA PROTESTANT CENTER AIDS CUBAN REFUGEES TAMPA, Fla. -- Though the heavy flow of refugees out of Castro-dominated Cuba has stopped, the needs of thousands who reached the U.S. mainland continue. At Tampa, Fla, a Protestant Cuban Refugee Center -- supported by seven denominations, several civic groups and individuals -- has operated for three years, providing assistance in the form of direct aid, as seen in the distribution of blankets to youngsters (top photo), and through such activities as English classes (bottom photo), to aid the newcomers in their transition to a new way of life. Miss Agnes Malloy, a Methodist missionary in Cuba for nearly 20 years, directs operations at the Tampa center, which has aided 5,115 refugees since its establishment.

Title: Swinging young pastor.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-30500 SWINGING YOUNG PASTOR ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- While clergymen never have confined their ministries exclusively to sanctuary and pulpit, recent years have seen an increasing number of young pastors putting a new emphasis on contacts and activities far beyond the traditional religious scene -- into jazz joints and espresso coffee houses. Such a man is the Rev. William Patton, former assistant pastor at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church at St. Petersburg, Fla., where he combined his parish-pulpit duties with an active ministry in the gymnasium. An award-winning gymnast himself (many first-place honors in Florida meets and high placement at the National Gymnastic Clinic), Mr. Patton coached young acrobats of the local Police Athletic League. This, he says, is "one of the most important things I do -- counseling with the younger people." He maintains that the athletic avocation opens the door to contacts and conversations with young people which would be impossible in clerical collar alone. Now a chaplain at Duke University, Durham, N.C, the pastor continues his swinging trapeze ministry. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (GT-SP-1D-64-NBM)

Title: Blessing of children and dolls.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-31986 BLESSING OF CHILDREN AND DOLLS MIAMI, Fla. -- Twin girls take their “tiny babies” to the altar of Holy Cross Episcopal church in Miami for the traditional annual blessing of children and dolls. Clutching their dolls, Gloria and Jeannie Rosenkranz receive a blessing from Dean Frank L. Tutus. The old rite is held in connection with the Feastday [sic] of the Holy Innocents, marked on the fourth day of the Christmas Octave (Dec. 28). It commemorates the slaying of babies by King Herod in the Holy land in an attempt to kill the Infant Jesus, Who was taken by St. Joseph to Egypt. Dean Tutus said one of the ideas behind the blessing is for girls to learn through caring for their dolls to love eventually their own babies and bring them up in the nurture of the church.

The small outbuilding with the ivy-covered chimney is a kitchen where the former masters cooked their own meals. The school is no longer used for instruction.
