Segregation One Of
Challenges To Faith,
States Article
NEW YORK, Dec., 21—In its
current issue devoted entirely to
the subject of Christianity, LIFE
Magazine examines today’s re
ligious boom in the U. S. and
finds that “through the boom in
belief runs a thread of doubt.”
“In many areas,” LIFE says,
“Christians ignore the tenets
of their faith and practice racial
I s e gregation. Religious leaders
also worry how much new inter
est in Christianity is only a mun
dane ‘cult of reassurance’ which
does not meet the major challen
ges to Christianity. But the
doubts, and the willingness to
ask searching questions, are in
themselves a measure of Chris
tianity’s vigor in the U.S. and its
capacity for new growth.”
FISK UNIVERSITY CHOIR
SHOWN
In another section of the maga
zine devoted to the Music Of Wor
ship, LIFE presents in illumin
ated manuscript form what the
editors consider to be the six
great American hymns. “Amer
ica has made eloquent contribu
tions to the world’s religious
music, including one innovation:
the spiritual,” the opening para
graph states. LIFE’S editors al
so chose “four of the American
choirs which sing our hymns
most beautifully.” Hymns in
clude Swing Low Sweet Chariot,
Dear Lord and Father of Man
kind, Mine Eyes Have Seen The
Glory, God Of Grace and God Of
Glory, 0 Little Town Of Bethle
hem, and Stand Up, Stand Up
For Jesus. Choirs include the
Fisk University Choir, the Paul
ist Choristers of New York, the
Cadet Choir of West Point and
the Washington Episcopal Nation
al Cathedral Choir.
THREE MAIN SECTIONS
The LIFE Christianity issue is
divided into three major sections.
The first covers the basic tenets
and history of Christianity; the
second, the sights and sounds of
the current Christian boom in
the U.S.—the world’s largest and
most dynamic Christian country.
The final section shows how the
rest of World Christendom is re
lated to this country’s faith.
Included in the issue are: the
life of Christ as interpreted by
fifteen of the world’s great art
ists; examples of modern church
architecture, part of what LIFE
calls “the biggest building boom
in church history and the great
est revolution in ecclesiastical
architecture since the Renais
sance;” a text feature on frontier
religion in the U.S., citing the
importance of the circuit riders,
camp meetings and farmer
preachers in the development of
U.S. Christianity as the nation
swung westward in the 19th cen
tury; a visit with the Reverend
Billy Graham, who at 37, LIFE
calls “the most famous U.S. re

CARDINAL DEPLORES
DISCRIMINATION
LIFE shows the Archdiocese of
Chicago, the nation’s largest,
headed by Samuel Cardinal
Stritch, and calls it typical of
Christian and Catholic genius for
i organization. In discussing the
widespread charitable activities
of the archdiocese, Cardinal
Stritch is quoted as saying to a
medical group: “When a hospital
staff refuses to admit qualified
doctors because they are Negro,
we are violating a truth that came
to us when Christ died upon the
Cross.”
Also featured is the Church of
South India, a product of U.S.
missionary activity in that coun
try, which represents a combina
tion of five denominations in
India—Anglican, Methodist, Pres
byterian, Congregational and Re
formed. LIFE calls this one mil

and imagimtive experiment: the
most promising effort yet toward
church unity in Protestantism.”
This issue also includes a his
tory of the Bible, tracing its de
velopment and current sales
boom, which makes it far and a
way the nation’s best-selling book.
Total sales last year are esti
mated at more than six million
copies. This does not count the
15 million Bibles distributed by
the Bible Society in 64 countries.
Gordon Parks, one of LIFE’S |
top photographers is represented i
in the issue by a handsome photo'
essay on the Benedictine Monas
tery of Atchison, Kansas. Parks’
photographs show the Abbey's
172 monks at work and devotions ;
and help explain why the Bene-1
dictines in America are the sec- •
ond largest branch of the world
