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:
Nun is 'Pied Piper'; in Philippines.
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: C-32111 NUN IS ‘PIED PIPER’; IN PHILIPPINES MANILA -- Philippines children have their own “Pied Piper” in the person of Sister Elizabeth Cecile, a Maryknoll missionary who intersperses her religious lessons with music. The nun, who comes from Wheat Ridge, Colo., has found that there’s nothing like a flute to draw an eager audience of children -- but unliked the famous Pied Piper of Hamelin, she draws them into the family of God. Before joining the Maryknoll Sisters, the American nun played five instruments in a band -- flute, clarinet, saxophone, violin and piano. Her career includes five years in a professional “all-girl” band and two tours of the Pacific as a USO entertainer. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (FRE-2A-65-NAB)
