- World Council leaders condemns racists.
- Description
- Text transcribed from caption: P-29818 WORLD COUNCIL LEADERS CONDEMNS RACISTS ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Christians who support segregation “by action or inaction” betray Jesus Christ, leaders of the World Council of Churches declared at Rochester, N.Y. The WCC’s powerful, policy-making Central Committee issued what was regarded as its strongest condemnation of discrimination. Examining the statement here are, from left to right: Dr. Eugene Carson Blake, chief executive officer of the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A.; Sir Francis Ibiam of Nigeria, one of the six presidents of the WCC, and Methodist Bishop James K. Matthews of Boston. Dr. Blake and Bishop Matthews took part in the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, where the Presbyterian leader served as one of the 10 chairmen of the demonstration, representing the Commission on Religion and Race of the National Council of Churches.

- Description
- Pearl Rugless O'Meally and Mary Ludlow were on the nominating committee that called Janie Spahr to serve as pastor of Downtown United Presbyterian Church and early members of That All May Freely Serve (TAMFS). TAMFS began in 1993 after Rev. Jane Adams Spahr, a lesbian minister, was banned by the Permanent Judicial Commission from accepting a call to serve as a pastor of Downtown United Presbyterian Church (Rochester, NY).
