The Chaplain, Vol. 22: A Journal for Protestant Chaplain; December, 1965 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Chaplain, Vol. 22: A Journal for Protestant Chaplain; December, 1965
Perhaps it is well that most writers avoid the insertion of chaplains in their more gross and unrelieved accounts of military life and action. Few authors seem to possess the skill and subtlety to deal with chaplains as credible human beings and also as representatives of a redemptive order in society.
In The Great Escape the pastor in southern Germany near the Swiss border is not a chaplain but he is a ruthless member of the underground with an utterly cynical approach to his grim tasks. He is a credible human being living under severe circumstances but the integrity of his pastoral office is gone.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the role of chaplains in the military, tracing their history from their inception alongside the Continental Congress, through the Civil War, into the 20th century, and their continued presence today. The author posits that the chaplaincy is a symbol of America's founding ideals and its reliance on spiritual guidance during times of conflict. He discusses the chaplains' evolving duties, from their original mandate to solely deliver daily prayers, to their present -day duties of counseling and providing spiritual support to service members and their families. The author highlights the diversity of the chaplaincy, with chaplains representing a wide range of faiths and denominations. He emphasizes the importance of the chaplains' role in maintaining the morale and well -being of the troops, and in providing a sense of spiritual community in the often -difficult and isolated environment of military life. He concludes that the chaplaincy is an essential part of the military, and that the insights offered by chaplains on spiritual matters are an invaluable asset in times of conflict and peace alike.
