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.

Look-alikes.
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: C-30497 LOOK-ALIKES MARYKNOLL, N.Y. -- Seeing double -- twice. Twin Maryknoll Sisters meet twins Ann and Agnes Shigo as the returned missionaries conduct an assembly program at a parochial. School. Sister Regina Rosaire and Sister Rosaire Marie -- born Mary and Marie Gray of Meadville, Pa. -- have returned from nine years of mission service in the steaming jungles of Bolivia. The twins, following the Maryknoll pattern, are now studying at college, pending reassignment to missionary work. While in Bolivia, they taught at neighboring missions. In 1957, Sister Regina Rosaire was stricken by polio, recovering completely after experiencing almost total paralysis. Maryknoll’s only twins hope to return to Bolivia where, they say, Communists have cells in practically every village. They say that presence of the Peace Corps has been helpful in spreading democratic ideals. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (M-NY-1C-64-W)
