(1970) Freeda Harris, a legend around Hellier, Ky. for her Bible school classes and spiritual guidance to people in this Appalachian hill country, visits a mountain home and talks with teenagers involved in work at the Southern Baptist Home Mission Board's mission center. Harris became an ever-present angel whose life has redeemed others from sadness, despair over broken homes and the pangs of hunger and lonliness. Religion News Service file photo by Don Rutledge

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
