Title: Charred Cross -- symbol of reconciliation.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-30864 CHARRED CROSS -- SYMBOL OF RECONCILIATION NEW YORK -- In solemn services in the Music Garden at the rear of the Protestant and Orthodox Center at the New York World’s Fair, the famed Charred Cross of Coventry Cathedral in England was dedicated as a reminder of the Christian message of reconciliation. Made from two charred oak beams that fell from the roof of the cathedral as it was destroyed in a 9140 German bombing raid, the Cross and the adjoining inscription, “Father Forgive,” will be on exhibit at the pavilion for the two years of the Fair. Dr. H.C.N. Williams (at far left), provost of Coventry Cathedral, presented the cross and a smaller Cross of Nails, made from 14th-century hand-forged nails, as symbols of the Christian message that “crucifixion must always be followed by resurrection.” Others taking part in the service (from left to right) were: Dr. James W. Kennedy, rector of the Episcopal Church of the Ascension, New York, and chairman of the committee of the U.S. Conference for the World Council of Churches which arranged for display of the Cross; Dr. Arthur Lee Kinsolving, rector of St. James Episcopal church, New York, and president of the Protestant Council of the City of New York, sponsor of the world’s fair pavilion; Dr. Cynthia C. Wedel of New York, assistant general secretary for program, National Council of Churches; Greek Orthodox Archdeacon Polycarp; Archbishop Iakovos, Primate of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North and South America and a WCC president; Charles C. Parlin of New York, Methodist layman and a WCC president, and Protestant Episcopal Bishop Horace W.B. Donegan of New York. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (BS-NY-4C-64-NBM)

Title: Sunburst tower marks Billy Graham Pavilion.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-30913 SUNBURST TOWER MARKS BILLY GRAHAM PAVILION NEW YORK -- The Billy Graham Pavilion at the New York World’s Fair, located near the main entrance, promised on opening day to be among the most heavily attended religious buildings at the exposition. Marked by a glistening sunburst tower and surrounded by fountains and outdoor hanging gardens, the pavilion features a theater which shows an evangelistic film narrated by Mr. Graham. On hand are many counselors, prepared to maintain an ongoing “crusade” in behind-the-screen rooms for viewers who respond to the film’s appeal.

Title: Wycliffe Bible Translators work told at fair.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-30915 WYCLIFFE BIBLE TRANSLATORS WORK TOLD AT FAIR NEW YORK -- William G. Nyman, Jr., of New York, regional secretary for the Wycliffe Bible Translators, and Miss Carole Vanden Hoek of Grand Rapids, Mich., a Wycliffe worker, test a display in the organization’s exhibit at the New York World’s Fair. Called the Pavilion of 2,000 Tribes -- that many tribes as yet do not have a written language -- the building has a front exhibit area describing translation techniques and the work of the Wycliffe organization. Large murals in a special room tell the story of Christian linguistic work among headhunters in the Peruvian jungle. Here, Miss Vanden Hoek listens to an example of Mazateco, a “whistle” language of Mexico. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (RNS-NY-4D-64-NBM)
