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.

Text transcribed from caption: C-29760 POPE APPEALS TO EASTERN CHURCHES GROTTAFERRATA, Italy -- Pope Paul VI is shown at a Basilian Abbey outside Rome where he made a momentous appeal to the Eastern Orthodox Churches to unite with Rome. The pontiff celebrated Mass for the abbey’s Eastern Rite monks and gave an impromptu talk in which he said the barriers separating the Eastern Churches from the Holy See should “fall without delay.” At right, Pope Paul greets monks as he prepared to leave the abbey.
