At times (to overuse the metaphor of human development) there have been those who have had to discipline, to encourage, and to comfort this thesis as it bounced around through its life to this stage. It seems particularly appropriate for a Doctor of Ministry thesis that it should begin and end in thanksgiving, because it is for this end that we were created: to glorify God and enjoy God forever. For me, that great enjoyment has generally been discovered in the presence of those whom God sends into our lives to mediate grace and joy. I want to thank above all my thesis advisor, Dr. Kenneth Melchin, who has the ability to read even the most snarled and confused texts and discern threads of meaning that may not have been apparent even to myself when I wrote them. To him I particularly dedicate the image I use of unsnarling balls of string; he is a consummate ‘un-snarler.’ Drs. Gilles Fortin and Lorraine Ste.-Marie who also served on the doctoral committee each have the gift of standing outside the flow of thoughts and arguments and making observations that threaten to collapse the whole bubble. They have provided in many cases the critical insights that, if I have been able to respond adequately, have served to strengthen some portions, and smooth others. They have helped to “make straight paths in the desert.” If Gilles and Lorraine have provided steel wool, my mentor, Rev. Paul Dillman, has provided the cotton wool of affirmation and encouragement throughout this long process. For much of the time I have been working on this, we have been separated by considerable distance, and our occasions for spending time together have been far too few. Yet every moment we managed to spend together has given me fresh perspectives and new energy to carry on what seems at times to be an unending task. I have always felt uncomfortable with the paragraph that thanks “those countless others who have helped along the way; you know who you are,” because it is my experience that those who help most along the way are the least likely to be aware of how much their actions have affected others. This is particularly true when I think of the many chaplains, commanders, officers, and enlisted men and women with whom I have served, who have demonstrated their ability to wrestle with ethical questions and to take seriously the kinds of issues that I am dealing with in this thesis. So, if you are reading this, and wondering, “Am I one of the ones who has in some way helped?” then, yes, you probably are. And to my beloved Shakti, Helena … despite the millions of words we have shared, none are enough. If I were to strip out every word in this thesis that came from the wisdom of others, that was inspired by others, or that reflected what I have seen in the ethical lives of chaplains and the men and women with whom they work, I would be left with only two words of my own: thank you. Abstract The role of the Chaplain Branch of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) is to “advise commanders on spiritual, religious, moral and ethical issues affecting Canadian Forces personnel and their families during operations and in static situations.” This paper explores the nature of one particular

I am talking with Rabbi Resnicoff who is at— in Washington, D.C. Excuse me. Good morning. How are you? RESNICOFF: Good morning. Very good, and looking forward to the conversation. BURACK: Good to hear. Let’s start at the beginning, in the basics. Where were you born, and when? RESNICOFF: I was born in Washington, D.C. in 1946. My father and mother got married right after World War II and moved to D.C. When I was two, they moved right over the D.C. line to a Maryland suburb, and that’s where I grew up and lived until the end of high school. BURACK: Okay. What did your parents do? RESNICOFF: My father was a lawyer, but he didn’t practice since I was alive. He actually quit his job as a lawyer the day after [the attack on] Pearl Harbor and went to volunteer to serve in the military for World War II. And they told him that he could come in as a lawyer, a JAG [Judge Advocate General], but it would take a number of months to get him the right military course, so he said, “You don’t understand. I’ve already quit my job. Just put me as anything.” So they brought him in as an enlisted man and sent him with Seabees [U.S.

  • The Four Chaplains by Ken Aldridge
    The Four Chaplains By Ken Aldridge In 1998, Congress designated February 3rd as “Four Chaplains Day” to honor four men of faith who gave their lives to save others on February 3, 1943. They were aboard the Dorchester, a U.S. troop transport ship, when it was torpedoed by a German U-boat shortly after midnight off the coast of Greenland. The ship sank within twenty minutes and of the 904 on board, only 230 survived, making it one of the worst losses of life of U.S. personnel of any American convoy during WW II. The chaplains represented four different faiths. As the ship began sinking, they did whatever they could to calm and comfort the troops and direct them out of harm’s way. When it became clear there were not enough life jackets for everyone, they gave theirs to men who needed them. As the ship went under, the chaplains were huddled together, praying and singing hymns. Their bodies were never recovered. The chaplains were: Rev. George Fox (Methodist), Rabbi Alexander Goode (Jewish), Rev. Clark Poling (Dutch Reformist), and Father John Washington (Catholic). The chaplains were honored with a Commemorative stamp, Scott #956 that was issued on May 28 1948, and was designed by Louis Schwimmer, the head of the Art Department of the New York branch of the U.S. Post Office Department (now called the USPS). This stamp is highly unusual, because until 2011, U.S. stamps were not normally issued in honor of someone other than a President of the United States until at least ten years after their death.
