Title: Procession opens racial prayer service.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-29736 PROCESSION OPENS RACIAL PRAYER SERVICE CLARKSDALE, Miss. -- A bi-racial group of 36 ministers from 11 states and the District of Columbia joined Clarksdale, Miss., Negro clergymen in a prayer service for the “healing of Christ’s body torn apart by racial segregation.” The visitors went to the heavily-segregated city at the request of the National Council of Churches’ special Commission on Religion and Race, which has tried to open integration discussions with local authorities. The service in the Negro First Baptist church was preceded by a gathering of the clergymen in the nearby Haven Methodist church, also a Negro congregation. Leading a procession to the interracial service -- which drew only a handful of Clarksdale whites and no local white clergymen -- were Dr. Robert Dodds, right, of New York City, general director of planning for the NCC, and the Rev. C.D. Coleman of Memphis, Tenn., general secretary of the Board of Christian Education, Christian Methodist Episcopal Church. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (1-NY-8C-63-NBM)

A few months ago, said Sister Helen Mary, the school’s principal, the school had only prayers and a plan. Since then, through the efforts of the workmen and others, it is a reality.

Early in the morning the pace of arrivals was slow. A happy, picnic atmosphere began to build around the base of the Washington Monument (in background). Then, near noon, caravans of buses that had been jamming outlying highways began to pour into the city. By the time the March started, a steady flow of people was pouring down Constitution and Independence Avenues. They jammed around the front of the Lincoln Memorial, lined the edges of the long reflecting pool, and listened to Freedom songs, entertainers and speakers. In the March and during the ceremonies, the presence of religious groups was vividly evident. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (SM-DC-8E-63-NBM)

Title: Orthodoxy approves dialogue with Catholicism.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-29944 ORTHODOXY APPROVES DIALOGUE WITH CATHOLICISM RHODES, Greece -- An historic picture of an historic moment: the meeting of representatives of Eastern Orthodox Churches as they agreed, unanimously, to enter into “dialogue” with the Roman Catholic Church. The split of Orthodoxy with Roman Catholicism dates from 1054. Only major Orthodox body not represented was the Orthodox Church in Greece which had refused to send delegates and had opposed talks with the Catholic Church. Delegates carefully stressed that “reconciliation,” not “reunion,” was to be the immediate goal of Vatican-Orthodoxy talks. Heading the meeting as chairman was Metropolitan Meliton of Eliupolis and Thera, representative of Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras of Istanbul, supreme leader of Eastern Orthodoxy. He is shown at the head table, standing beneath the crucifix. Conference also decided that Orthodox Churches must decide individually whether to send delegate-observers to the Second Vatican Council’s second session.

Title: Serbian royalists oppose new Orthodox bishop.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PO-29714 SERBIAN ROYALISTS OPPOSE NEW ORTHODOX BISHOP MILWAUKEE, Wis. -- Consecration ceremonies for Archimandrite Firmilijan of Pittsburgh, Pa., recently named as Midwest bishop in the Serbian Eastern Orthodox Diocese in the U.S. and Canada, were protested in Milwaukee, Wis., as about 100 Serbian Royalist pickets demonstrated outside St. Sava Cathedral. Signs they carried charged the new bishop with being a “pawn of the Yugoslavian Communists.” At one point during the picketing, minor scuffling broke out and police intervened to prevent more serious altercations. The incident was part of a continuing controversy over the division of the Diocese into three sections and the suspension of Bishop Dionisije, who has headed the entire Diocese, by the Church’s Council of Bishops in Belgrade. Bishop Dionisije refused to recognize the suspension; he said charges against him alleging canonical offense were lodged by a “handful of Communists among the American Serbs” and that the Council was under pressure from “Tito’s Communist regime in Yugoslavia.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (RCW-Milw-8B-63-NBM)

Sheen of New York and discussion with the press on the crisis in his country. The 66-year-old archbishop firmly denied the Roman Catholic Church is involved in alleged persecution of Buddhists, maintaining that Communists and other agitators are using the situation to their advantage. He disclaimed reports that his visit had political implications or that he was seeking U.S. Catholic hierarchy intervention with U.S. governmental authorities to ease relations with the Diem regime. His talk with Bishop Sheen, he said, was confined to missionary matters. The South Vietnamese archbishop was unable to meet with Francis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York, who was out of the city. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (PA-NY-9B-63-NBM)
