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.

The President’s other pocket flap also is disarranged. Following Mr. Kennedy and Caroline out of the church is Mrs. Paul Fay, wife of the Undersecretary of Navy. It was Caroline’s first appearance at the church here with her father. Earlier this year she attended Mass with him at Middleburg, Va. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (U-HY-8B-63-RB)

Text transcribed from caption: C-30269 THE CHURCH AND THE KENNEDYS Memorable days for a Catholic family. Below, Richard Cardinal Cushing, Archbishop of Boston, is shown after baptizing Christopher George, son of Attorney General and Mrs. Robert F. Kennedy at Hyannisport [sic], Mass. The President’s warm smile reflects the family’s happiness. Above, Mars 20, 1939, when U.S. Ambassador to England Joseph P. Kennedy, his wife and children were granted an audience by Pope Pius XII. The President-to-be is second from left, back row. Tragedy stalked the Kennedys: the oldest son died an air hero of World War II; a daughter was retarded; a daughter died in a plane crash; and most recently a nation shared their grief upon the assassination of the second son, John Fitzgerald, 35th President of the U.S. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-NY-11E-63-W)
