Description:Text transcribed from caption: PCJ-46161 AGREEMENT REACHED ON SOVIET TRADE AND EMIGRATION WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Soviet Union has pledged to lift restrictions on the emigrations of Jews and others in return for tariff concessions and credits by the U.S., Sen. Henry Jackson (D--Wash.) announced in Washington, D.C. The White House and the State Department extended the courtesy of allowing the announcement to be made by Sen. Jackson, who led a drive in Congress to block trade concessions to the USSR unless emigration was made easier. He said there was no numerical quota placed on the number of persons the Soviet Union must allow to leave each year but that the U.S. had a “bench mark" of 60,000. Discussing the agreement at the White House are, from left: Rep. Charles A. Vanik (D--Ohio), Sen. Jackson, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, President Ford, and Sen. Jacob Javits (R.N.Y.).

Title:Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-46174 TWO VIEWS OF BUSING BOSTON -- Students at Boston’s Hyde Park High School (top photo) look through a shattered window of their school bus, damaged when fights broke out between black and white students at the school. Several students were injured in the incident, just part of the violence which has marred Boston’s court-ordered busing plan since the start of the school year. A more peaceful view of busing is achieved by four Boston students as they discuss school desegregation efforts with a Charlotte, N.C., student coordinating council (bottom photo). The four students (foreground left to right), Barbara Steer, Dana Gonsal, Bob Messina and Linda Lawrence, are members of the Hyde Park High School biracial committee who were invited to the Southern City by students to get a look at integration and how it works in Charlotte’s public high schools, where a massive busing program has been in effect for 10 years. “We’re still working at it every day, and we don’t have any miracle answers," a Charlotte student told the Boston group. “But what was a new situation for us 10 years ago is a new situation for you now. And we want you to know we’ve learned a lot about judging anybody, black or white, as an individual. It just took time."

Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-46167 CHARISMATIC RENEWAL IN JAPAN TOKYO -- Japanese Charismatics worship during an ecumenical Charismatic Renewal seminar held at Hatsudai Catholic Church in Tokyo. The seminar brought together Catholic and Protestant Charismatics from an estimated 35 denominations. It was one of a series of seminars held in Japan's major cities during October. The Rev. Lester A. Pritchard, director of Team Thrust Ministries of Vancouver, Canada, sponsoring organization of the Holy Spirit Seminars in Japan, told the seminar that while the Charismatic Renewal is an effort to teach spiritual unity, it is in no way an ecumenical movement. "Let's not try to make Pentecostals out of everybody,” he urged. "And let's not aim at making Catholics out of Protestants. No church has the whole truth. We must exchange pulpits. We seek not union but unity."

Title:Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-46157 (Suggested for use with RNS WEEK IN RELIGION for Oct. 25, 1974) AFTER THE COUP SANTIAGO, Chile -- Armed riot police stand in front of the fire and rocket damaged Presidential Palace in Santiago in late September 1973 after the military coup which toppled the government of President Salvador Allende. Revelations in the U.S. Congress about the "destabilizing" activities of the CIA in Chile prior to the overthrow of the Allende government have caused elements within the international religious community to re-focus attention on the human rights situation there. While some religious spokesmen, both within and outside Chile, have defended the authoritarian rule of the military junta which accomplished the coup, the weight of religious reaction has become highly critical of the junta. Torture and ill treatment of political prisoners -- estimated at about 8,ooo by government figures -- are charges most often heard.

Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-46133 SCHOOLS FIRE-BOMBED IN BOOK DISPUTE CHARLESTON, W. Va. -- Students arriving at Kanawha County's Midway Elementary School are greeted by a burned-out door after it and another elementary school were fire-bombed as violence escalated in the controversy over the use of supplemental English textbooks in public schools in the county. Both bombs exploded in the schools before any children had arrived. Pupils were taken to neighboring schools for classes. Demonstrations against the books began with the start of the school year in September. Protesters have charged that the materials are anti-Christian and anti-American. Statements from protesters indicated that they have adopted an intransigent attitude and will not wait for a review committee, appointed by the county board of education, to officially determine the future of the books.

Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-46112 DISAGREEMENT OVER ORDINATIONS A Jesuit theologian said that an article he wrote in 1966 was recently “misinterpreted" by an Episcopal bishop who cited it as support for invalidating the ordinations of 11 women deacons. Father Frans Josef van Beeck, S.J. (left), associate professor of systematic theology at Boson College, said that Episcopal Bishop Arthur A. Vogel of West Missouri (right) had not drawn the proper conclusions from his 1966 article. In his report to the Episcopal House of Bishops in August, which voted to declare the women’s ordinations invalid, Bishop Vogel said that, based on Father van Beeck’s article, “validity (of ordination) means ecclesiastical recognition." The Jesuit said that it was “obvious" that Bishop Vogel attributed “much more substance" to his definition of validity than he himself had intended for it to have, and that the “warranted" conclusion from the article would be that the women’s ordinations “was irregular, but not invalid in the traditional sense." Bishop Vogel has not replied that it remains his belief that he did not misinterpret Father van Beeck. “More importantly," he continued, “neither my advisement nor the action of the House of Bishops depended in any positive way on the theological position of Father van Beeck."

Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-46111 WALKS AROUND THE WORLD FOR CHILDREN JANESVILLE, Minn. -- Dave Kunst (right), the man who spent four years in a walk around the world and returned home as a subject of controversy, walks through Janesville, Minn., with some friends as he nears his hometown of Waseca, where he began his trek in 1970. Although he had acquired an “anti-hero” image by some comments he made in an interview he gave to a reporter for the Minneapolis Tribune on his way back, Mr. Kunst was besieged by autograph-seekers as he re-entered Waseca. Mr. Kunst, 35, undertook his walk with the purpose of raising funds for the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF). In 1970, he set out with his brother, John, who was later killed by bandits in Afghanistan. He returned briefly in 1973 and then set out again to complete the 15,000-mile walk. The controversy arose when he commented in the interview that he thought marriage was “a bad idea," and said he had asked for a divorce from his wife, Jan. The Roman Catholic layman was also criticized for saying that he didn't want a church to tell him how to act or what to believe, and that he had "no idea there were so many dumb foreigners in the world.” Credit Must Read: Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (B-MIN-10B-74-DS)URL:https://digital.history.pcusa.org/islandora/object/islandora:361591

Title:Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-46102 CATHOLIC-BAPTIST LIAISON NEWNAN, Ga. -- Father Wilfred (Will) Steinbacher (right), deep south regional worker for the Roman Catholic Glenmary Home Missioners, discusses his work as liaison between Catholics and Southern Baptists with two Baptist ministers. The Rev. Eugene Briscoe (left), state student secretary for the Georgia Baptist Convention, and the Rev. Willard Brown, pastor of the Macedonia Baptist Church in Newnan, Ga., look at a map of Christian denominations in the U.S. with Father Steinbacher. The liaison post is fairly new for Father Steinbacher but not for the Cincinnati-based Glenmary order, which has conducted a liaison program between Southern Baptists and Catholics for about seven years. "We're trying to create a sense of understanding between Baptists and Catholics, because there was widespread misunderstanding and mistrust between them," said Father Steinbacher, whose order was organized about 35 years ago to minister in town and country churches in the South, especially Appalachia. The Glenmary plan for creating Catholic-Baptist interchange, Father Steinbacher explained, has “three prongs" -- two of which are now underway. The basic "prong" is aimed at the grass roots, where Glenmary priests have sought to bring the laity and posters of both denominations together for dialogues. A typical form is a two-day meeting of about 40 people, which includes Baptist and Catholic worship services and a series of group discussions. Another "prong" has been the dialogues between Catholic and Baptist leaders over the past three years and a "prong" still in development would involve a theological dialogue involving subjects of mutual interest, scholarly papers and three or four days of discussion in depth on the things which Baptists and Catholics hold in common and the things on which they disagree.
