Title: "Black Catholics Concerned."
Description: 'Black Catholics Concerned.' Washington, D.C. -- Black Roman Catholics across the country -- about 1 million -- are being asked to contribute to a special collection on Sunday, Oct. 8, as part of a "Black Catholics Concerned" program sponsored by the National Office of Black Catholics (NOBC). The campaign is seeking to support several major programs being developed by the NOBC, including recruiting black vocations to religious life, developing black Catholic lay leadership, underwriting continuing education for black nuns, priests and Brothers, and the establishment of a national training center for black priests. This panel illustrates the aims of the campaign. Top left -- A black layman at prayer. One of the aims of the program is the development of strong black Catholic lay leadership. Top center -- Brother Anthony Clark, S.V.D. (center), tells two young men about the religious life at the Society of the Divine Word's recruiting booth at Black Expo in Chicago. A successful campaign will enable black Catholics, for the first time, to develop their own direct effort to encourage more vocations from among black Catholics. Top right -- Using a tiger pelt as an altar cloth, Father Kenneth Brigham, Father George Clements and Father Dominic Caromon (left to right) celebrate a "black unity Mass" at Holy Angels church in Chicago. A goal of "Black Catholics Concerned" is to stimulate an authentic black contribution to Catholic worship. Bottom left -- Father Ivan Hughes, O.S.B., confers his first blessing after ordination to the priesthood at the Benedictine St. Pius X Monastery in Pevely, Mo. Through the establishment of a training center for priests, the program hopes to prepare black candidates for the priesthood. Bottom center -- Auxiliary Bishop Harold Perry of New Orleans (center), the nation's only black bishop, is principal celebrant at a Mass during a meeting of the National Black Sisters Conference in Pittsburgh. Black nuns bring the Offertory gifts to the altar. Continuing education programs for black religious is another of the program's aims. Bottom right -- Artists Eugene Edaw (left) and William Walker stand in front of the facade of Detroit's St. Bernard church, which they designed. The work depicts the struggle of blacks, including a painting showing a black Moses confronting a black Pharaoh, demanding that he "let my people go." Black Catholics are being urged to combine Afro-American cultural elements and their Catholic heritage in worship and the arts.

Title: President, Dr. King address ALC convention.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-46141 PRESIDENT, DR. 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)

Title: Center of attraction.
Description: 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)
