Text transcribed from caption: PC-31371 FREEDOM RIDERS START JAIL TERMS IN FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Eight white and Negro clergymen arrested in 1961 in a sit-in integration attempt at a Tallahassee, Fla., airport restaurant went to jail there after three years of unsuccessful appeals. They chose 60-day sentences rather than paying $500 fines after Federal Court turned down a new appeal. Their case earlier went up to the U.S. Supreme Court but that tribunal refused to hear it. Denial of the appeal generally was on technical grounds. The clergymen, from left to right, are: the Rev. John W. Collier, pastor of Israel Memorial African Methodist Episcopal church, Newark, N.J.; the Rev. A. McRaven Warner, executive secretary of the Manhattan Division of the Protestant Council of the City of New York; Rabbi Martin Freedman of Temple B'nai Jeshurun, Paterson, N.J.; the Rev. Arthur L. Hardge of Hood Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Zion church, Providence, R.I.; Rabbi Israel Dressner of Temple Sharey Shalom, Springfield, N.J.; the Rev. Robert J. Stone of New York, assistant executive director of the Commission on Religion and Race of the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A.; Dr. Robert McAfee Brown, professor at Stanford University, Palo Alto, Cal., and nationally known United Presbyterian theologian who was a delegate observer at the second session of the Vatican Council; and the Rev. Petty D. McKinney of St. Phillip's AME Zion church, Nyack, N.Y. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (WW-NY-8B-64-NBM)

Text transcribed from caption: P-31556 EPISCOPALIANS WORSHIP IN 800-YEAR-OLD MONASTERY MIAMI, Fla. -- The Rev. Harold L. Batchelor, pastor of a Protestant Episcopal mission congregation in Miami Beach, strolls through an 800-year-old former Spanish Catholic monastery and its grounds where his parishioners are holding worship services. Originally built in 1141, the Cisterician [Cistercian] monastery was purchased in 1925 by the late William Randolph Hearst and shipped to this country in 11,700 packing cases. The structure remained dismantled and crated for 27 years until 1952 when the monastery was bought from the Hearst estate by two laymen. They reassembled the 2,400 tons of limestone, creating the old monastery on a six-acre tract as a tourist attraction. Now they have agreed to let the St. John the Divine Episcopal Mission use the monastery's refectory (dining hall) for worship. It has been converted into a 90-seat chapel. Mr. Batchelor hopes eventually to purchase the entire monastery compound. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (ACT-MIA-9B-64-N AB)

Text transcribed from caption: P-30500 SWINGING YOUNG PASTOR ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- While clergymen never have confined their ministries exclusively to sanctuary and pulpit, recent years have seen an increasing number of young pastors putting a new emphasis on contacts and activities far beyond the traditional religious scene -- into jazz joints and espresso coffee houses. Such a man is the Rev. William Patton, former assistant pastor at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church at St. Petersburg, Fla., where he combined his parish-pulpit duties with an active ministry in the gymnasium. An award-winning gymnast himself (many first-place honors in Florida meets and high placement at the National Gymnastic Clinic), Mr. Patton coached young acrobats of the local Police Athletic League. This, he says, is "one of the most important things I do -- counseling with the younger people." He maintains that the athletic avocation opens the door to contacts and conversations with young people which would be impossible in clerical collar alone. Now a chaplain at Duke University, Durham, N.C, the pastor continues his swinging trapeze ministry. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (GT-SP-1D-64-NBM)
