Title: Evangelicals, United Brethren achieve unity.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: #S-4839 EVANGELICALS, UNITED BRETHREN ACHIEVE UNITY JOHNSTOWN, Pa. -- Thirteen years of planning are successfully ended here as representatives to the united General Conference of the Evangelical Church and the Church of the United Brethren in Christ attend a historic session at which the union of their churches was announced, forming the new Evangelical United Brethren Church. With a combined membership of more than 714,000 members the new group ranks 13th in size among Protestant denominations. It is relatively strong in Pennsylvania and the Midwest.

In 1933 commissions from both churches were appointed to work out the detail which were accepted by both groups. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (JR-JOHN-BS-11C6-W)

Title: Bishop of Polish Mariaviten Church.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: BISHOP OF POLISH MARIAVITEN CHURCH #4662 WARSAW -- Bishop Sygmunt Szypold, of the Mariaviten Church of Poland, has been appointed Second assistant to the new head of a united church recently formulated here by union of the Mariavitens with the Old Catholic Church of Poland. The Mariaviten Church was established by dissident Roman Catholic priests and nuns on the basis of visions of the Virgin Mary reportedly seen by a nun. The Old Catholic Church was founded in 1870 by dissidents who refused to accept the definition of the dogma of Papal Infallibility. The churches will pool their resources under a common church government, but each will maintain its own internal organization and doctrinal teaching.

Title: Sister politician.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-45676 SISTER POLITICIAN CLEVELAND -- When she’s not involved in politics, Sister Patricia Rogers has a full schedule of teaching government, current affairs, religion and world history at Cleveland’s Erieview Catholic High School. In politics, Sister Patricia recently became the first nun in Cleveland history elected to a political office when she was elected a Democratic precinct committeewoman. Sister Patricia, a member of the Sisters of the Humility of Mary, ran against two men in an inner-city ward and garnered more votes than the combined total of her opponents. “Being a Sister and a woman” are two definite assets in the political arena, she feels. However, she sees her new status as “A title only. I don’t find it a glamorous job. It’s work. It can be what you make it.” Her office is a non-paying position.
