Description:Text transcribed from caption: PCO-46558 WAR-DAMAGED ORTHODOX CHURCHES ON CYPRUS NICOSIA -- The Church of St. George (top) and Makedonitissa Church, both near Nicosia, were heavily damaged during the fighting which followed the Turkish invasion of Cyprus last July. St. George was reportedly “deliberately” burned while the other church was bombarded by the Turks. During the invasion, which followed an attempted coup d’etat of the Cypriote government by the military government of Greece, which fell as a result of the blunder, Turkey captured the northern third of the island. Numerous Christian churches were damaged and destroyed during the fighting and large scale looting of holy icons and other religious treasures has been charged. In October it was reported that almost 200 Greek Orthodox churches in the Turkish-occupied part of Cyprus were either closed or being used by the Turks for non-religious purposes. Recently a World Council of Churches official who visited the island said that Christian and Muslim representatives have been guaranteed the right to investigate complaints of the desecration of churches and mosques on Cyprus.

Description:Text transcribed from caption: PCJ-46600 RABBI, FATHER OF BRAIN-DAMAGED SON, FINDS ‘MIRACLES’ NEW YORK -- A Chicago rabbi and his wife has discovered, with the aid of their brain-damaged son and his Christian school teacher, that God always answers prayers -- although not always in a way expected. “Miracles were happening all the time, but not the obvious ones we were hoping for,” said Rabbi Hyman Agress, whose “smug little world” was shattered in 1962 with the diagnosis that his first-born son, Michael, was retarded and would never be “normal.” Rabbi Agress, author of Why Me? (Creation House), said in an interview in New York that God did not give Michael the miraculous healing for which he so desperately prayed at first. But the seeming tragedy has knit the family closer together and made them infinitely better people. In Why Me? Rabbi Agress tells how, after years of attempting to find help and schooling for Michael, he and his wife turned to the relatively unknown Grove School for Exceptional Children in Deerfield, Ill., operated by a “devout Quaker woman,” Virginia Matson. Rabbi Agress said he regards finding the school one of the miracles. The school not only began to bring order in Michael’s and his family’s lives but also gave them new hope and regained faith. Here, the Agress family plays with an electric train set in their home in the Chicago suburb of Aurora, where Rabbi Agress is spiritual leader of Temple B’nai Israel. From left are, Mrs. Agress, Steve, 13, Rabbi Agress, Alexandra, 9, and Michael, now 15.

Description:Text transcribed from caption: PCJ-46559 TERRORIST GRENADE INJURES U.S. GIRL JERUSALEM -- Dejean Replogle, 16, of Jacksonville, Fla., is comforted by a doctor in the Jerusalem hospital after she was injured when a terrorist grenade struck the bus in which she was riding. Miss Replogle and 17 fellow parishioners of the Main Street Baptist Church of Jacksonville were travelling from Jerusalem to Jericho when the grenade hit the bus at the ruins of Bethany. Shrapnel struck Miss Replogle in the leg and she was rushed to Jerusalem where she underwent surgery. In Beirut, the Palestine Liberation Organization took responsibility for the attack and warned foreigners “not to go to occupied Palestine as we are not responsible if they get hurt during the escalation of commando activity against the Israeli enemy.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (B-Jer-12D-74-DS)URL:https://digital.history.pcusa.org/islandora/object/islandora:362338

Title:Description:Text transcribed from caption: PCJ-46554 RESPOND TO SOVIET REJECTION WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Senators Jacob Javits (R-N.Y.), left, and Henry Jackson (D-Wash.) hold a copy of a letter from Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko to Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, dated Oct. 26, in which the Kremlin official said that the Soviet Union had made no agreement to allow Jews and others to emigrate in exchange for U.S. trade concessions. The rejection of any agreement on emigration and trade was also published by Tass, the official Soviet press agency, and broadcast on regional television and radio in the Soviet Union on Dec. 18. Sen. Jackson, who has led the drive to included the emigration stipulation in the trade legislation, said that he would press for approval of the trade bill by Congress and noted that if the Russians did not liberalize emigration, they would lose the trade benefits. Some observers felt the Tass story might be a “face-saving” tactic on the part of the Soviet government for its own people.

Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-46657 ASIAN CHRISTIAN PEACE CONFERENCE KOTTAYAM, India -- Delegate to the first assembly of the Asian Christian Peace Conference march through Kottayam, India, site of the assembly. Below, school children, led by Roman Catholic nuns, participate in the rally held during the assembly. The assembly called for an “absolute ban” on all manufacturing, testing and stockpiling of nuclear weapons. Assembly delegates also accused the U.S. of being the chief promoter of the nuclear arms race, and called for American withdrawal of all nuclear weapons in Asia. The Asian Christian Peace Conference is a new regional affiliate of the Prague-based CPC, once a major channel of East-West church relations but more recently found chiefly in Communist countries of Eastern Europe. Most Western CPC national groups disbanded or changed their name as a result of the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. The CPC now seeks to enlist members among developing nations of Africa and Asia.

Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-46656 CHURCHES CHALLENGED ON WORLD HUNGER NEW YORK -- The Rev. Arthur Simon, a Lutheran clergyman who heads the Christian citizens’ movement on hunger -- Bread for the World -- tells a gathering of Roman Catholic Bishops and priests that U.S. Christians have failed to indicate their concern over world hunger sufficiently to prod government action on the food crisis. In asking, “Where are the Christians?” Mr. Simon observed that Church leaders have said all the right things about the world hunger and poverty situation. But, he added, Christian people at the grassroots level have not responded. He said there is a “big gap” between words and action. The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod clergyman made his remarks in a speech at the New York Catholic Center to diocesan clergy and lay officials concerned with promoting the annual American Catholic Overseas Aid Fund appeal.
