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.

Terrorist grenade injures U.S. girl.
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: PCJ-46559 TERRORIST GRENADE INJURES U.S. GIRL JERUSALEM -- Dejean Replogle, 16, of Jacksonville, Fla., is comforted by a doctor in the Jerusalem hospital after she was injured when a terrorist grenade struck the bus in which she was riding. Miss Replogle and 17 fellow parishioners of the Main Street Baptist Church of Jacksonville were travelling from Jerusalem to Jericho when the grenade hit the bus at the ruins of Bethany. Shrapnel struck Miss Replogle in the leg and she was rushed to Jerusalem where she underwent surgery. In Beirut, the Palestine Liberation Organization took responsibility for the attack and warned foreigners “not to go to occupied Palestine as we are not responsible if they get hurt during the escalation of commando activity against the Israeli enemy.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (B-Jer-12D-74-DS)

Text transcribed from caption: PCJ-46270 VENGEANCE AND GRIEF BEIT SHEAN, Israel -- Angry residents of Biet Shean, Israel, throw a body out a window of an apartment house (left photo) to a crowd below where it was burned. The incident followed an attack by three Arab guerrillas on the village near the Jordan border. The Arabs had attacked an apartment block and killed four Israelis before being shot themselves in a gunfight with Israeli soldiers. As soon as the shooting stopped, residents rushed to the apartment where the Arabs lay dead. Several men hurled the bodies out the window and they were burned in a bonfire. In their fury, the men mistakenly pushed out the body of an Israeli who was apparently killed by the guerrillas and it was also burned. At right, a couple grieves during funeral ceremonies for the four dead villagers. Nineteen others were injured in the pre-dawn attack.

Mr. Peres assured the victim’s neighbors that Israel knew the site in Lebanon where the two guerrillas had received their training and that Israeli forces would strike at the base.
