Chaplain

He attempted to return the cashbox with the army’s money inside. He was not rewarded for this, but arrested. He was compared to Christ by the Chaplain as a man in trouble; for he, like Christ, has a fatal characteristic (2834-40). Christ’s selflessness resulted in a brutal death. He washed his disciples’ feet after the Last Supper, already knowing he would be betrayed (John 13:4-11). He prayed…

given information about a worship team that met that night to rehearse that needed a drummer. I was a music education major in college before the military, and decided why not, I had not really played in quite a few years. After meeting with the chaplain again, he told me that he was redeploying back to the U.S. and that if I ever needed to talk again, to call his personal number that he wrote on his business card, which I shoved in my pocket without looking at it. I met with the band that…

We do live in a world in which religious reasonings justify violence. We often think of it in terms of Islam, but we forget that our own Scripture (Old and New Testaments) have been used to justify violence. There is the possibility that our own Scripture will continue to be used to justify violence. This book is not so much a defense of Islam, as an uncovering our propensity to use our Scripture to justify violence in our struggles with others. Christians throughout Christian history (and…

enforcement officials gathered in the basement of the Wayne County Justice Center recently to wish a tireless worker farewell as he headed into retirement. “His heart was always in the right place,” Capt. James Richards said of the Rev. Lee Anderson, the chaplain of the Wayne County Jail for the past 41 years who was retiring. Richards read a passage from the New Testament about how Jesus thanked his followers for feeding him, caring for him, clothing him and visiting him in prison. Not…

The person I chose as my unsung hero is Chaplain Father Emil Kapaun, because he gave his life serving the soldiers in the Korean War and even while being held prisoner he continued serving the soldiers and encouraging them in captivity. He qualifies as an unsung hero because he always put his life at risk to help others that were wounded, to retrieve them, to give them their last rites, not minding the fact that he could be shot dead at any time. He also risked his life many times in prisoner…

drove us to the cemetery. When we walked into the memorial room it became completely silent as people stared at us in grief. I have never had so many people walk up to me and tell me I look just like him. We waited in that room a while until the Chaplain came in a said a prayer. Then it was time to go to the grave site and burry my best friend, my brother. When we got to the gravesite everyone began to sit down in their chairs as they waited for the ceremony to begin. By the time everyone had…

components of relevant plot. Beginning with the notorious jail chaplain, Meursault ponders why the chaplin repeatedly offered him religious asylum upon his conviction to death row, asking himself the question–was the chaplain even alive? Camus describes the hyper-destructive nature of accepting religion and describes those who already accept such systems of belief as already having died, for Meursault was foolishly unsure of the chaplain “even being alive” (74). As a result, one–in this case,…

Resource Sergeant in the twenty first century. What it means to be a profession. A profession is a person who earns the trust of their clients such as a recruiter, a chaplain, and human resource sergeants. Recruiters promote incentives, education benefits, and false hopes in order to convince you to join the service. Chaplains will maintain confidentiality when you open up about your personal feelings... until you go over the deep end then a special evaluation should be recommended. Human…

The E Word: Existentialism Remember, do not call out the philosophy-that-shall-not-be-named. This taboo shames the Roman stories about heroes and insults life as it is. What is life without a purpose, determined before birth? What will the world be with wandering inhabitants, nonchalantly wasting air because there are no set paths for these poor souls? There has to be a predestined purpose for these devastated creatures, so they can peacefully pass on,content that they accomplished a goal. This…
