Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-29736 PROCESSION OPENS RACIAL PRAYER SERVICE CLARKSDALE, Miss. -- A bi-racial group of 36 ministers from 11 states and the District of Columbia joined Clarksdale, Miss., Negro clergymen in a prayer service for the “healing of Christ’s body torn apart by racial segregation.” The visitors went to the heavily-segregated city at the request of the National Council of Churches’ special Commission on Religion and Race, which has tried to open integration discussions with local authorities. The service in the Negro First Baptist church was preceded by a gathering of the clergymen in the nearby Haven Methodist church, also a Negro congregation. Leading a procession to the interracial service -- which drew only a handful of Clarksdale whites and no local white clergymen -- were Dr. Robert Dodds, right, of New York City, general director of planning for the NCC, and the Rev. C.D. Coleman of Memphis, Tenn., general secretary of the Board of Christian Education, Christian Methodist Episcopal Church. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (1-NY-8C-63-NBM)

Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-29735 INJUNCTION SERVED DURING RACIAL PRAYER SERVICE CLARKSDALE, Miss. -- One of the few Clarksdale, Miss., white men to step inside the city’s First Baptist church during a prayer service for racial unity was a county deputy sheriff. He served an injunction on two of 36 ministers from several states who traveled to Clarksdale at the request of the National Council of Churches’ special Commission on Religion and Race. The injunction, while not applicable to the religious observance in the Negro church, was a sweeping ban against virtually all types of integration demonstrations. None of the approximately 20 white Clarksdale clergymen took part in the prayer service. The NCC commission and Clarksdale Negro ministers held the service in an effort to establish communication with local authorities. The injuction was handed here to the Rev. Brad Minturn, left, a Protestant Episcopal minister of Silver Spring, Md., and the Rev. Gerald Forshey, a leader of the Interracial Council of Methodists in Chicago, Ill.

Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-31682 CLERGYMEN SUPPORT MISSISSIPPI RIGHTS EFFORT McCOMB, Miss. -- Five Protestant Episcopal clergymen -- part of an interdenominational group of 20 ministers who spent a week working with civil rights volunteers in Mississippi -- stand in front of the bomb-blasted Society Hill Baptist church at McComb. Sixteen structures used by civil rights workers were bombed in the McComb area from June 21 to the end of September, four of them churches which were totally destroyed. The National Council of Churches race commission planned to send groups of clergymen to Mississippi to assist rights workers through the fall and winter. Shown here (left to right) are the Rev. Bruce Young of Attleboro, Mass.; the Rev. Thomas D. Allen and the Rev. Quinlan Gordon of Washington, D.C.; the Rev. Malcolm Boyd of Detroit, Mich., and the Rev. Earl A. Neil of Chicago. During their stay in McComb, Mr. Allen, Mr. Gordon, Mr. Boyd and Mr. Neil attempted to visit 24 Negroes who had been arrested for “criminal syndicalism,” a Mississippi law which forbids virtually any activity which promotes social or political change. In spite of repeated requests to county officials, they were denied permission to see the prisoners. “We had a feeling that we were completely outside the United States and were being treated as enemy aliens,” Mr. Boyd said.

Title: Christmas service in new Mississippi church.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-31974 CHRISTMAS SERVICE IN NEW MISSISSIPPI CHURCH RIPLEY, Miss. -- A group of northern college students, calling themselves “Carpenters for Christmas,” paused with members of the congregation of the Negro Antioch Baptist church near Ripley, Miss., for Christmas services. The church, burned to the ground Oct. 30 after a civil rights rally was held there, was reconstructed during the holiday weeks by the volunteer student group. The paster of the congregation, the Rev. John R. McDonald, preaches the Christmas sermon to the church members and students, who later put the roof on the new structure and rushed to complete the interior before returning to their campuses. Most of the volunteer carpenters were from Oberlin (Ohio) College. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-NY-12E-64-NBM)
