About this Collection

Conceived by journalist Louis Minsky (1909-1957), Religious News Service (RNS) was established in 1934 as an affiliated but independently managed agency of the National Conference of Jews and Christians (later the National Conference of Christians and Jews), and was dedicated to providing authoritative and bias-free news about religion and ethics to both the secular and religious press. This collection contains photographs documenting Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, and Jewish groups. Coverage of Protestants (especially mainline Protestants) and Catholics constitutes the bulk of the images. View the collection guide to learn more. Digitization of some of the images in this collection made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Featured image: Father James Groppi, the civil rights activist priest from Milwaukee, and militant leader Rennie Davis are taken into custody during an anti war demonstration a block from the White House.

Title:
Rabbi, father of brain-damaged son, finds 'miracles.'
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: PCJ-46600 RABBI, FATHER OF BRAIN-DAMAGED SON, FINDS ‘MIRACLES’ NEW YORK -- A Chicago rabbi and his wife has discovered, with the aid of their brain-damaged son and his Christian school teacher, that God always answers prayers -- although not always in a way expected. “Miracles were happening all the time, but not the obvious ones we were hoping for,” said Rabbi Hyman Agress, whose “smug little world” was shattered in 1962 with the diagnosis that his first-born son, Michael, was retarded and would never be “normal.” Rabbi Agress, author of Why Me? (Creation House), said in an interview in New York that God did not give Michael the miraculous healing for which he so desperately prayed at first. But the seeming tragedy has knit the family closer together and made them infinitely better people. In Why Me? Rabbi Agress tells how, after years of attempting to find help and schooling for Michael, he and his wife turned to the relatively unknown Grove School for Exceptional Children in Deerfield, Ill., operated by a “devout Quaker woman,” Virginia Matson. Rabbi Agress said he regards finding the school one of the miracles. The school not only began to bring order in Michael’s and his family’s lives but also gave them new hope and regained faith. Here, the Agress family plays with an electric train set in their home in the Chicago suburb of Aurora, where Rabbi Agress is spiritual leader of Temple B’nai Israel. From left are, Mrs. Agress, Steve, 13, Rabbi Agress, Alexandra, 9, and Michael, now 15. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (C-CHI-1B-75-DS)

Respond to Soviet rejection.
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: PCJ-46554 RESPOND TO SOVIET REJECTION WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Senators Jacob Javits (R-N.Y.), left, and Henry Jackson (D-Wash.) hold a copy of a letter from Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko to Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, dated Oct. 26, in which the Kremlin official said that the Soviet Union had made no agreement to allow Jews and others to emigrate in exchange for U.S. trade concessions. The rejection of any agreement on emigration and trade was also published by Tass, the official Soviet press agency, and broadcast on regional television and radio in the Soviet Union on Dec. 18. Sen. Jackson, who has led the drive to included the emigration stipulation in the trade legislation, said that he would press for approval of the trade bill by Congress and noted that if the Russians did not liberalize emigration, they would lose the trade benefits. Some observers felt the Tass story might be a “face-saving” tactic on the part of the Soviet government for its own people. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (B-WAS-12C-74-DS)

Some estimates of the crowd ran as high as 50,000 persons from “nearly every state,” including Hawaii, and the rally and subsequent “march for life” around the Capitol was described as the largest “pro-life” gathering ever. The demonstration marked the second anniversary of the Jan. 22, 1973 Court decision, which largely overturned most state abortion laws.

Churches challenged on world hunger.
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: PC-46656 CHURCHES CHALLENGED ON WORLD HUNGER NEW YORK -- The Rev. Arthur Simon, a Lutheran clergyman who heads the Christian citizens’ movement on hunger -- Bread for the World -- tells a gathering of Roman Catholic Bishops and priests that U.S. Christians have failed to indicate their concern over world hunger sufficiently to prod government action on the food crisis. In asking, “Where are the Christians?” Mr. Simon observed that Church leaders have said all the right things about the world hunger and poverty situation. But, he added, Christian people at the grassroots level have not responded. He said there is a “big gap” between words and action. The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod clergyman made his remarks in a speech at the New York Catholic Center to diocesan clergy and lay officials concerned with promoting the annual American Catholic Overseas Aid Fund appeal.

Burt of the Episcopal Diocese of Ohio reads a statement ordering the convening of an ecclesiastical court to try the Rev. L. Peter Beebe (right), pastor of Christ Episcopal Church in Oberlin, on charges of breaking canon law by permitting two women to celebrate the Eucharist in his church Dec. 8. The two women, the Rev.

"Show business chapel."
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: PC-46620 ‘SHOW BUSINESS CHAPEL’ NEW YORK -- For Austin Miles, the term “show business chapel” has two meanings. It is the title of a series of 100 “spots” that the 40-year-old Assemblies of God minister has recorded in Detroit for national distribution through Video Associates, Inc. And it is also a description of the portable worship center that he takes with him on his travels as announcer for the Royal Lipizzan Stallion Show, “The Wonderful World of Horses.” As the first international show business chaplain of the Assemblies of God, Mr. Miles has brought a Christian witness to the horse show, as he had done earlier for several circuses he had served as ringmaster. “Show business people are no different from any other people in their basic needs,” he points out. “They’ve got problems, face temptations, have tough schedules. Even a glamorous performer needs assurance of the love of God.” Here, Mr. Miles (right) chats with G. Edward Nelson Jr. of the American Bible Society in the portable chapel he has set up in a Madison Square Garden dressing room.

Report on corporate challenges.

Text transcribed from caption: PC-46615 REPORT ON CORPORATE CHALLENGES NEW YORK -- Representatives of groups in the Church Project on U.S. Investments in Southern Africa report on stockholder challenges underway against U.S. corporations doing business in southern Africa during a press conference in New York. From left to right are: Dr. Howard Schomer of the United Church Board for World Ministries; Canon Burgess Carr, general secretary of the All Africa Conference of Churches; Dr. Donald Wilson, chairman of the Church Projects; Brother Robert Taylor of the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement; and Timothy Smith, coordinator of the Interfaith Center for Corporate Responsibility. It was announced that 14 U.S. religious groups have joined in a stock action asking International Business Machines (IBM) to stop selling computers to the Republic of South Africa. Nine Protestant agencies and five Roman Catholic orders, owning a total of more than $9 million in IBM stock, are parties to a shareholder resolution that accuses the corporation of supporting South African “apartheid” (racial separation). Computers, challengers say, help South Africa’s white minority government “oppress” the black majority. IBM is one of seven corporations being challenged this year on South African operations by one or more groups in the Church Project. The other companies are Phillips Petroleum, Getty Oil, Standard Oil of California, International Telephone and Telegraph, Union Carbide and the Southern Company.

Mrs. Alice Moore, a member of the Kanawha County School Board and a consistent critic of the texts, declared that “the greatest potential threat to our nation lies within the public education system (and) HEW funds are used to develop, promote and force on our schools these value-changing programs.” Mrs. Moore said she had wired U.S. Education Commissioner Terrel H. Bell, suggesting an “immediate cutoff of all federal funds to teacher training and promotional program for new educational concepts until guidelines can be established to protect citizens’ rights.” She charged that “for years, HEW has been pouring funds into promotional programs that undermine basic American traditions and insult values of most parents.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (GA-WVA-12D-74-DS)

Our board of directors, who are racially and economically integrated, keep this goal before them constantly to make sure we do not deviate from the purpose.” (SEE ALSO RNS PHOTOS PC-46576 & 77) Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO by Don Rutledge (DR-GA-12D-74-DS)
