Title: Cardinal visits Swahili school.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-29788 CARDINAL VISITS SWAHILI SCHOOL MARYKNOLL, N.Y. -- Laurian Cardinal Rugambwa, Bishop of Bukoba, Tanganyika, talks with Swahili instructors at the Maryknoll Motherhouse during his recent visit to the U.S. More emphasis is being placed by the missionary order on Swahili because of the Tanganyikan government’s decision to unify that East African country through a common language. This summer Maryknoll priests and nuns are being taught the language under the direction of Father George F. Pfister, M.M. (right), director of the order’s Swahili School. Also shown chatting with Cardinal Rugambwa, the first Negro Prince of the Church, are two African teachers on Father Pfister’s staff. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (M-NY-8E-63-RB)

Title: Episcopal Bishop of Liberia.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: EPISCOPAL BISHOP OF LIBERIA #1797 NEW YORK -- The Rt. Rev. Bravid W. Harris, bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church’s Missionary District of Liberia, West Africa, (shown above) conferred here with Presiding Bishop Henry St. George Tucker at Church headquarters. The Episcopal Church has 3,052 communicants and about 2,500 church school pupils and numerically it is the largest church in Liberia. Bishop Harris, whose control extends over 57 churches and mission stations, said he was fortunate to visit the establishments even twice a year, owing to transportation difficulties in the 45,000 sq. mile country. “Along the coast I travel by surf-boat, a kind of sailing vessel which, of course, depends on the winds. It takes three days at best to travel 60 miles,” he said. “Travel to the interior, by river, is accomplished by dug-out canoe.” The Bishop went to West Africa last October. A native of Warrenton, N.C., he was rector of the Grace Episcopal Church, Norfolk, Va., for 19 years when he joined the Church’s National Council here as educational secretary for its Negro work. He plans to return to Liberia in two months. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (BH-NY-JOG-2C-6-A-E)
