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:
New year begins in Northern Ireland.
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: PC-45076 NEW YEAR BEGINS IN NORTHERN IRELAND BELFAST -- The new year begins with violence in Belfast. Police sift through the devastation caused by a massive bomb which exploded in a stolen taxi. The bomb blast, as well as other incidents of violence, came on the first day of a new government for Ulster -- a 15-man executive comprised of both Catholics and Protestants. The violence is believed to have been caused by both Protestant and Catholic extremists. Militant Protestants fear that the British government is bowing to Catholic interests and will sell them out to the Irish Republic. The Provisional wing of the illegal Irish Republican Army, on the other hand, is continuing its fight for a united Ireland and for the freedom of suspected guerrillas who have been interned without trial.

Unaccredited Christian schools under fire.
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: PC-45075 UNACCREDITED CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS UNDER FIRE GREENVILLE, Ohio -- A court case in Greenville, Ohio, involving the parents of children who attend unaccredited Christian schools may develop into a landmark in church-state relations. The case began in December when a Darke County grand jury handed down eight secret indictments against parents who have removed their children from public school and sent them to a Christian school operated by God's Tabernacle, an independent congregation. The Rev. Levi W. Whisner, who was ordained by the United Missionary Church and the Wesleyan Tabernacle Association, both small fundamentalist groups, is pastor of God's Tabernacle and principal of the school. He was one of the persons indicted because his 13-year-old daughter, Janice, attends the school. Here, Janice studies at her desk at the school. Legal action was taken after public school superintendents filed a complaint based on reports from an attendance officer indicating that the children were not attending the public schools. Ohio law says parents are required to send their children to schools accredited by the state. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (CA-DAY-1A-74-DS)

To be jailed for contempt.

Text transcribed from caption: PC-45047 TO BE JAILED FOR CONTEMPT SIOUX FALLS, S.D. -- A national executive of the American Lutheran Church (ALC), Dr. Paul A. Boe, has been ordered to jail for refusing to testify about what he saw and heard during 10 days spent last March in the Indian community of Wounded Knee, S.D. Dr. Boe claimed that the conversations he had with leaders of the American Indian Movement (AIM) during the confrontation there fell within a Clergy-penitent relationship and were therefore privileged. Judge Paul Benson, a lay member of an ALC church in Fargo, N.D., rejected the argument and held Dr. Boe in contempt of court. He ordered the ALC clergyman, who is executive director of the denomination's Division of Social Service, to the custody of the U.S. marshal in Sioux Falls for confinement in "a suitable place" until he is willing to testify before a grand jury.

Citing Watergate, the Mid-East war and the energy crisis, Mr. Graham termed 1973 "a very convulsive year.'' "Millions of Americans are confused, discouraged, cynical, frightened and disillusioned,'' he said in his sermon, but, he went on, there is hope in the message of Christmas. It was the 42nd White House worship service since Mr. Nixon took office. Mr. Graham has preached at three of them, including the first one just after the 1969 inauguration, and he shared a platform at another one.

Baptism by wire.
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: PC-45015 BAPTISM BY WIRE TAMPA, Fla. -- How does a clergyman conduct a baptismal service in his Tampa church for his infant granddaughter who's nearly 10,000 miles away in the Philippine Islands? The answer is simple: he places a long-distance telephone call and performs a "baptism by wire." The unusual event occurred when the Rev. George E. Dressler, pastor of Faith Lutheran church in Tampa, called Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines and baptized Kathryn Ann Jakeman. The baby, born Sept. 7, thus became the fourth generation of her family to be baptized by a grandparent. Here, Mr. Dressler conducts the service in the church sanctuary. Facing him are the baby's sponsors, Mr. and Mrs. Rex Jakeman, brother and sister-in-law of Kathryn Ann's parents, Air Force Lt. and Mrs. Robert Jakeman. Friends and relatives are able to hear the responses from the Philippines over special amplification equipment. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (C-FLA-12B-73-DS)

Under the agreement, reached after talks at Berkshire, north of London, both the Republic of Ireland and Britain would make solemn pledges about the status of Northern Ireland and deposit them at the United Nations. Dublin will pledge its recognition that the present status of the North, with its link to Britain, cannot be changed except when a majority in the North so decides. For her part, Britain has pledged that if someday a majority in Ulster should decide to join a united Ireland, she will put no obstacles in the way.

Protestant, Catholic hospitals protest Phase IV.
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: PC-44999 PROTESTANT, CATHOLIC HOSPITALS PROTEST PHASE IV WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Terming the proposed Phase IV regulations scheduled to go into effect Jan. 1 for the nation's hospitals as "economic insanity" and rank discrimination, the National Protestant-Catholic Hospitals' Action Committee has asked the Federal Cost of Living Council to make a number of changes in the regulations or else face court action. The committee, which represents those hospitals operated by various Protestant denominations and Catholic religious orders and dioceses, asserted at a Washington, D.C., news conference that a system of price controls which is fair and equitable is a vital necessity to all community hospitals to enable them to continue to provide high quality care for their patients. Attending the news conference were, from left: Sister Mary Maurita, R.S,M., executive vice president of the Catholic Hospital Association; John F. Harty, legal counsel for the committee; Dr. Charles D. Phillips, executive director of the American Protestant Hospital Association; and L. Rush Jordan, chairman of the committee.

Concerned over adult conversion rate.
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: P-45132 CONCERNED OVER ADULT CONVERSION RATE OMAHA -- After Dr. Clinton Marsh became moderator of the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. in 1973, he couldn't believe the nationwide figures on adult conversions. He found that in 1972, 8,786 United Presbyterian churches baptized 12, 729 adults, an average of 1.4 in each congregation. "I went back to see if the figure wasn't 127,000 instead," the Omaha clergyman said in an interview. The first figure was correct and it was roughly one-third the 1958 conversion rate, which Dr. Marsh said "was not aggressive either, so see, we've got reason to be concerned." · Church membership in 1972 slipped below three million, declining three percent in a year and dropping 10 per cent below the 1963 peak of 3.2 million. Some church members will blame the low rate of adult conversions on social-action programs of the last decade, believing the church has gotten away from its original purpose, Dr. Marsh said. Yet, there are fewer persons leaving the denominations now than in 1958 when the church was not as heavily involved in humanitarian programs. He sees signs of a resurgence in evangelism but is cautious about the direction it is taking. If the emphasis is on saving an individual's soul without correcting the wrongs of society, Dr. Marsh does not believe it will be a healthy trend.

Lanai, with less than 2,500 permanent residents -- mostly Filipinos who work in the pineapple fields -- is connected to Honolulu only by air; the boats that dock at the island are pineapple barges. Mr. Rietdorf a retired pastor from Arkansas, came to Lanai six years ago and as one of only two clergymen on the island, he has been a counselor, comforter and wedding official. Taking his place now is Mr. King, who is retiring from Kaunakakai (Southern) Baptist church on nearby Molokai to come to Lanai.

Text transcribed from caption: P-44998 'LOVE LOAFS' TO RAISE MONEY FOR RELIEF FOR RELEASE: Dec. 15, 1973 MONROVIA, Calif. -- A new program that will enable churches to further assist people in crisis areas of the world has been developed by World Vision International. Based on a small bank called the "Love Loaf," the program is available for immediate implementation in denominations, individual churches or individual families. The focal point of the program is the Love Loaf, which is designed to placed on a family's table at mealtime. Members of the family place their change in the small ceramic bank, as illustrated in the top photo. If a local church is conducting the program, the loaves when filled with money are brought to the church and collected. The churches will control the distribution of 60 percent of the funds, designating the remaining 40 percent for World Vision to help support its ministry of emergency relief work in the developing nations. Families may also send a check or money order in the amount of the Love Loaf's contents directly to World Vision, a non-profit, interdenominational Christian humanitarian agency.
