Church Comparison For this spiritual growth project, I attended three fairly different Churches. For the first, I attended CCF, which is a non-denominational evangelical Church. The second was First Presbyterian Church of Siloam Springs, a Presbyterian Church USA member. Finally, I went to St. Mary’s Catholic Church, which is under the Diocese of Little Rock, which in turn reports to Rome. Growing up, I have been a part of several Churches, so I really did not have any expectations of what any…

One of the arguments that present priests use opposing changing this discriminatory strategy is established on rehearse, as it is a fact that no woman has ever been ordained a priest.

Fr. Emil Kapaun, a Catholic priest and U.S. Chaplain in the Korean War said “when I was ordained, I was determined to ‘spend myself ’ for God. I was determined to do that cheerfully, no matter in what circumstances I would be placed or how hard a life I would be asked to lead.” Fr. Kapaun, through his words, demonstrates his understanding of how difficult the role of Chaplain would be in the coming decades of war.
