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.

Title:
"Crucifixion of man."
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: PC-46504 ‘CRUCIFIXION OF MAN’ GENEVA -- In a Geneva studio, Guido Rocha works on his “Crucifixion of Man,” a work he says is based on the physical torture he suffered in the prisons of Brazil. Mr. Rocha was arrested for protesting against oppression, was tortured and then “acquitted.” He then fled to Chile where he was caught up in the military coup that overthrew the government of Marxist President Salvador Allende in Sept. 1973. Again arrested, he spent 40 days in detention at Santiago’s National Stadium before being released and admitted to Switzerland as a political refugee. A special scholarship to the School of Fine Arts in Geneva has enabled him to work on his “Crucifixion of Man.” When it is finished, Mr. Rocha intends to present it to the World Council of Churches as his way of thanking the churches for their assistance to Chilean refugees.

Title:
Exchange of ideas.
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: PC-45993 EXCHANGE OF IDEAS TAIZE, France -- Near a cross on the grounds of the Taize monastic community, young people exchange ideas during the World Council of Youth. The three-day gathering saw 40,000 young people from 120 countries come together for fellowship and prayer. Rather than resolutions, plenary sessions, or committee meetings, the major events were the daily worship services -- moments of prayer, praise and testimony by youth as to how to live the Gospel in the face of exploitation, oppression, poverty, and isolation. The only thing close to a formal pronouncement to come out of the gathering was a “Letter to the People of God” issued on behalf of the young people. In it, the church was called to give up the means of power, the compromises with political and financial power, to surrender its privileges and stop amassing wealth in order to become a place of communion and friendship for the whole of humanity.
