KING ADDRESS ALC CONVENTION DETROIT -- At top, President Gerald Ford addresses delegates attending the seventh general convention of the American Lutheran Church in Detroit. After receiving an enthusiastic welcome as he entered the convention hall, President Ford said he was moved by their convention theme, Ministering to a Hungry World, and commended the ALC for its work in preparing for the bicentennial. Seated among the platform guests were Dr. Fredrik Schoitz, ALC president emeritus, and his wife. Below, Dr. Martin Luther King, Sr. (right) is warmly greeted by delegates after speaking to the convention. Dr. King, who is pastor of Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, said he felt no bitterness towards those who killed his wife and son. “I do not hate the man (James Earl Ray) seeking a new trial in Tennessee who supposedly took the life of my dear son," he told the delegates. “I don’t hate the man (Wayne Chenault) who came by…to get me and took the life of my wife. I’ve got a job to do -- I love you, every one of you, and I hope you love me." Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (C-DET-10C-74-DS)

The Concept-East is an off-Broadway type of theater which, located in an oldtime barroom, now offers culture instead of beer. One of the first works presented was by the Rev. Malcolm Boyd, left, Protestant Episcopal clergyman long active in youth and race relations work. With him are Woodie King, center, and Cliff Frazier, actors in the minister’s play, “The Community.” Productions are carried on in a coffeehouse atmosphere.

- Text transcribed from caption: C-45700 CENTER OF ATTRACTION SAGINAW, Mich. -- Father Bartholomew Kestell and his puppet, “Father Oscar,” entertain a group of youngsters at St. Joseph School in Saginaw, Mich. The Capuchin priest was in the Midwest for a brief vacation following his second four-year mission stint on the Persian Gulf sheikdom of Bahrain Island. A man in perpetual motion who is sometimes called “The Brown Tornado” (for his brown robe) by fellow priests, Father Barth, a native of New Holstein, Wisc., is widely known in Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan for his wide range of talents. He is an architect, an archaeologist, a puppeteer, a historian and a former Navy chaplain. When Father Barth returns to the Mid-East, he will begin construction on the first Catholic church in Oman, another Persian Gulf sheikdom, in more than 300 years. The church will reflect Arabic architecture because, as Father Barth explains, 50 years from now it might serve as a mosque. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (BFS-SAG-6C-74-DS)
