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.

Schools fire-bombed in book dispute.

Text transcribed from caption: PC-46133 SCHOOLS FIRE-BOMBED IN BOOK DISPUTE CHARLESTON, W. Va. -- Students arriving at Kanawha County's Midway Elementary School are greeted by a burned-out door after it and another elementary school were fire-bombed as violence escalated in the controversy over the use of supplemental English textbooks in public schools in the county. Both bombs exploded in the schools before any children had arrived. Pupils were taken to neighboring schools for classes. Demonstrations against the books began with the start of the school year in September. Protesters have charged that the materials are anti-Christian and anti-American. Statements from protesters indicated that they have adopted an intransigent attitude and will not wait for a review committee, appointed by the county board of education, to officially determine the future of the books.

Text transcribed from caption: PC-46049 GLAD TO BE BACK APPLETON, Minn. -- Robert Cousins, one of 120 Belfast children who spent six weeks this Summer in the Upper Midwest away from the strife of Northern Ireland, is back on the farm of Eldon and Mary Voorhees in Appleton, Minn. Rob’s mother, Frances Cousins, fearing for the safety of her 12-year-old son, wrote to the Voorhees asking if they’d have him back. He’ll be in Minnesota a year, and “then we’ll figure things out from there,” Mrs. Voorhees said. “If the situation is still the same over there and his mother agrees, then he’ll stay. If she wants him back, then he’ll go.” To Rob, the return to Minnesota means “getting to drive the tractor and feeding the cows and sheep. It’s so good here. There’s no shooting here, no bombs and I’m not scared.” The boy is hoping his mother will come to visit him in Minnesota, but her finances are limited. The Voorhees, who have no children, paid for his trip back to the farm. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (A-MIN-9D-74-DS)

Textbook protestors.

Text transcribed from caption: PC-46004 TEXTBOOK PROTESTORS CHARLESTON, W. Va. -- Protest signs and American flags were the order of the day as 200 persons marched on the Kanawha County Board of Education offices in Charleston to demonstrate against the use of certain textbooks in the county’s schools. The protest began shortly after the start of the school year when parents kept their children from classes to protest English texts they consider a threat to patriotism, religion and morality. The parents contend some articles in the books contain passages detrimental to their religious and moral beliefs, and introduce their children to drugs and unpatriotic beliefs. The protestors set up picket lines at the county’s coal mines, railroads and manufacturing plants, keeping many workers off the job. This led a federal judge to order marshals into the area to prevent violence and enable the workers to return to their jobs. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (A-CHA-9B-74-DS)

Concordia, the largest Lutheran seminary in North America a year ago, is now the smallest seminary of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. Fall enrollments for the Synod’s Concordia Seminary in Springfield, Ill., and for St. Louis’ Seminex, known as “Concordia Seminary in Exile,” will both be more than double that of Concordia in St. Louis. Seminex was created last February after Dr. John Tietjen was suspended as president of Concordia and most of the 450 resident students and more than 40 faculty members declared a moratorium on classes to protest the suspension. The striking faculty were dismissed and they and the dissenting students set up Seminex. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (A-SL-9B-74-DS)

After the bill of indictment was read, the 52-year-old Syrian-born prelate, who represents Melkite Patriarch Maximos V. Hakim in Jerusalem, was asked to respond to the charges and enter a plea of guilty or not guilty. Before allowing his client to reply, defense attorney Azeez Shehadeh, a Christian Arab, submitted two preliminary claims, which, if accepted by the court, would lead to a dismissal of all charges. Mr. Shehadeh claimed that Israel had no legal jurisdiction in East Jerusalem which is occupied territory, and that Archbishop Capucci, as a possessor of a Vatican passport and an Israeli Foreign Ministry service visa, enjoyed diplomatic immunity. The court recessed for several days to rule on the challenge. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (A-JER-9D-74-DS)
