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.

Below, flood waters inundate banana crops and workers’ houses near Choloma, a town that was virtually destroyed when a wall of water and mud swept through it, killing almost half of its 6,000 people.

Draft evaders watch president.
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: PC-46030 DRAFT EVADERS WATCH PRESIDENT TORONTO -- U.S. draft evaders living in Toronto watch President Ford’s televised press conference on the same day that Mr. Ford offered a program of earned re-entry into American society to thousands of Vietnam War era draft resisters and military deserters. From left are: Steve Grossman, Chicago; Fritz Efaw, Stillwater, Okla; Charlie Stimac, Detroit; Joe Jones, Wilkesboro, N.C.; Jack Calhoun, Philadelphia; and Mr. Jones’ wife, Jeanette. The President’s program covers convicted and unconvicted draft evaders and convicted and unconvicted military absentees, including those in self-exile abroad. Up to two years of alternate service in jobs of public value is stipulate for unconvicted draft evaders and deserters. The cases of convicted resisters and deserters will come before a nine-member clemency board. Draft exiles in Canada were generally cool toward earned re-entry. Many young men who fled to escape induction feel they have nothing to atone for in a period of alternate service. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (B-TOR-9C-74-DS)

The judge specifically blamed the dismissal on the refusal of the government to go with 11 jurors after one became ill on the second day of deliberations. The government indicated it might appeal the decision. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (B-SP-9C-74-DS)

First Lady meets the press.
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: PC-45991 FIRST LADY MEETS THE PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Mrs. Betty Ford fields questions during her first full-scale press conference at the White House. On one major U.S. issue -- abortion -- Mrs. Ford made it plain she is “definitely closer” to the views of Vice President-designate Nelson Rockefeller, former New York governor, than to those of Sen. James Buckley (C-R) of New York. Mr. Rockefeller, as governor of New York vetoed a bill in 1972 which would have repealed the state’s liberal abortion law. Sen. Buckley, meanwhile, has proposed a Constitutional amendment in Congress which would overturn the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 liberal ruling on abortion. The First Lady’s affinity with the views of Mr. Rockefeller, who has been strongly criticized by anti-abortion forces, brought comparisons with the views of President Ford. In October 1973, while still Republican leader in the House of Representatives, he said he opposed abortion on demand and had co-sponsored a bill restoring to the states the power to prohibit or regulate abortions. Mrs. Ford also said she intends to be an active First Lady, with interests centering on the arts and of behalf of underprivileged and retarded children. She said she hopes to campaign for ratification of the equal rights amendment for women, which now lacks the approval of five states before it can become law.

But Mr. Ford did not support unconditional amnesty. He said those accused of what is “loosely described as desertion and draft dodging” should “work their way back” into citizenship.

Willie after he announced his resignation as vice-chairman of the Episcopal Church’s House of Deputies. Dr. Willie’s son, James, clings to his father’s back. In a sermon at Grace Episcopal Church in Syracuse, the black layman, who took the action to protest the ruling of the Church’s House of Bishops declaring the women’s ordinations to be invalid, said that “to carry out the unjust laws of this Church which do not affirm the right of females to be priests and bishops is to visit oppression upon women.” In addition to his resignation from the House of Deputies post, Dr. Willie, a sociologist who had preached the sermon at the ordination service, said he is also resigning from the Church’s Executive Council.

Church scores proposed Ethiopia constitution.
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: PC-45923 CHURCH SCORES PROPOSED ETHIOPIA CONSTITUTION ADDIS ABABA -- The Ethiopian Orthodox Church issued a strong protest to a proposed new constitution drafted by military leaders who have stripped Emperor Haile Selassie (left) of any real power. Signed by Patriarch Theophilos (right) and members of the Holy Synod, the protest charged that the military is trying to deestablish the Church. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church, which is Coptic in background, is the State Church with the emperor as titular head. It has played a dominant role in the nation since the Middle Ages and traces its origins to the Fourth Century. Patriarch Theophilos and his episcopal colleagues issued their protest a few days after the military reduced Emperor Selassie, who is 82, to a figurehead. By abolishing the emperor’s crown council, court of justice and military committee, the armed forces brought an end to the world’s last absolute monarchy.
