November — a month of golds and reds and browns; of crisp autumn winds; of gathering in front of fires and feasts to share long, delicious moments with loved ones. A month of harvest, of reaping the benefits of hard work. This November, the Presbyterian Historical Society is sharing images from the Religious News Service Photograph collection that spotlight the importance of moments and meals shared.
If every picture tells a story, then the Presbyterian Historical Society has over 60,000 compelling ways to share the story of religion news reporting in the mid-20th century.
In January 2024, Presbyterian Historical Society received a planning grant from Lilly Endowment Inc., which funded the design and fabrication of an exhibit prototype, “Faith & Justice in the 1960s: Religious News Service Covers Civil Rights.”
William Bayard Miller joined the church triumphant on December 14, 2018, at age 94. When I learned of his passing, I was saddened by the loss of a dear friend, colleague, and mentor who served the church from 1957 until his retirement in 1989.
