- Text transcribed from caption: P-30263 A PRESIDENTIAL TRADITION WASHINGTON, D.C. -- A man with a strong sense of history and respect for tradition, the late John F. Kennedy is shown as he registered at St. John’s Episcopal church, Washington, D.C., long known as “the church of the Presidents.” At top left the first Roman Catholic President shakes hands with the Rev. John C. Harper, rector; top right, he is introduced to the congregation before the service begins; and below, he signs the prayer book previously signed by Presidents Hoover, Truman and Eisenhower. Thirty-one Presidents have either visited or worshipped at the church founded in 1816. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (HLSS-11E-63-W)
