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: P-31661 A BISHOP IS CONSECRATED DETROIT -- Dr. C. Kilmer Myers (right) receives the shepherd’s staff from Protestant Episcopal Bishop Richard S. Emrich as he is consecrated as Suffragan Bishop of the diocese. The colorful ceremonies took place in the Cathedral Church of Saint Paul in Detroit, with eight bishops and a distinguished list of clergy participating. Dr. Myers, 49, who for 11 years was a vicar of two inner-city missions in New York’s Lower East Side, will supervise urban church work in Detroit. For the last year he has been director of the Urban Training Center for Christian Mission at Chicago, an interdenominational Protestant agency.
