Description
Photograph was edited for publication purposes
Photograph article dated January 23, 1965 partially reads, "The amazing and unconventional theories of the head of a Canoga Park church who 'would call myself an agnostic' and who cites the Biblical 'Song of Solomon' in support of his controversial stand on pornography were probed yesterday by this writer. The minister is the Rev. Brooks Walker, a graduate of Harvard University's School of Theology, and of the University of Colorado with a Bachelor of Science and a major English degree."
