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.

Catholic-Jewish theological debate.

Text transcribed from caption: C-32092 CATHOLIC-JEWISH THEOLOGICAL DIALOGUE LATROBE, Pa. -- A theological colloquy on Catholic-Jewish relations was held at St. Vincent’s Archabbey under sponsorship of the American Benedictine Academy and the National Conference of Christians and Jews. Among the 26 participants were Philip Scharper, editor of Sheed and Ward, New York, noted Catholic publishers (left); and Dr. Joseph Lichten, director of the Anti-Defamation League’s Department of Inter-Cultural Affairs.
