We trust the special articles make the wait worthwhile. Unpacking the Contents We begin with a pair of articles that address the same subject from significantly different perspectives. The continent of Africa is arguably the most exciting locale for observing military chaplaincy today. It includes several chaplaincies with mature legacies, as well as a number of nascent experiments in providing chaplain care. Some countries currently without a chaplain corps, are considering reinstating one. It is exciting to observe how these countries seek the advice of more established chaplaincies, and then proceed to place their own, African imprimatur on the process. The two observations come from senior (retired) American chaplains who have assisted their African counterparts in this effort. The first through formal international military linkages, and the second via an independent, para-church ministry that focuses on servings Christians in the armed forces. For “transparency,” I will mention that your editor has assisted in the instruction of foreign chaplains under the auspices of the latter ministry. And, I can assure everyone from personal experience that the curriculum expressly seeks to instill within new chaplains the same commitment to providing interfaith ministry that characterizes military ministry in the United States. Our first article is written by James Hoke. He served as one of the coordinators of the first major international chaplaincy conference conducted in Africa, and offers an “official” perspective of what it accomplished. Like our next writer, Hoke completed a distinguished military career, retiring as a colonel in the Army. The second piece was contributed by Rich Young, who is the Executive Director of the International Association of Evangelical Chaplains. In that capacity, and in relationship with the Association for Christian Conferences, Teaching and Service, he has taught chaplains around the globe. 4 | Curtana † Sword of Mercy Our third article describes the ministry of a true hero. Recently, many decades after the close of the Korean War, Father Emil Kapaun was awarded the Medal of Honor. It was well-deserved. His example of being willing to lay down his life for the soldiers in his care will provide inspiration and example to chaplains of all faiths. Anyone who becomes half the shepherd Kapaun was will be an amazing chaplain indeed. The timing for the final article in this issue is rather providential. After considering the witness of a Korean War hero, we turn to a fictional veteran of that same conflict whose example continues to influence the formation of contemporary and future chaplains. The “article” is actually a rather casual interview conducted with William Christopher, who played Father Francis Mulcahy in M*A*S*H. The conversation ranges from his career to his personal life and back again. Fans will find it an enjoyable read, and chaplains just may gain an insight or two into what works in their own ministries. We have several pieces of unpublished poetry in this issue, from the pens of Jim Cosgrove and a new contributor, James Martin. We also include some historic poetry—most notably some of the poetry written by C.S. Lewis while a soldier during the First World War. (It should be noted, of course, that these were written during the atheist phase of his life.) Jonathan Newell provides a review of The Long Way Home: An American Journey from Ellis Island to the Great War. Reading it reminds one of how the Union army recruited immigrants as they were disembarking from ships during the War Between the States. It proves once again that immigrants have consistently done their share in defending their adopted homeland. Our regular features—biographies of military chaplains and random references to military ministry—complete the issue. Please enjoy it and recommend it to others. Special thanks go to Les Broadstreet and Nora Duggan for permission to reproduce their portraits of Fathers Kapaun and Mulcahy respectively. Curtana † Sword of Mercy | 5 † Articles † The First World Military Chaplain General’s Conference James Hoke It all began on Sunday, February 1, 2006 as aircraft began arriving at the Cape Town South Africa International Airport bringing over 100 delegates from 41 countries and five continents to the first ever World Military Chiefs of Chaplains Conference. Friendly and courteous members of the South African National Defense Force (SANDF) met the delegates and expertly guided us through the airport onto waiting vans and busses. We were then whisked off to our “home” for the next week, the Cape Sun Hotel, a beautiful venue to begin such an historic Conference! Upon arrival at the Cape Sun we were warmly greeted by uniformed SANDF Chaplains under the able supervision of Chaplain (Rev) Cornelis, given instructions for registration, and taken to our rooms. That evening, at the aptly named “Castle of Good Hope,” all the delegates, many with their spouses, met and renewed old friendships enjoyed the choral ensemble and learned how to play African drums. The atmosphere was relaxed and the address by the Deputy Minister of Defense, Mr. Fezile Bhengu, set the tone for the Conference whose theme was reconciliation and healing. In the following days the delegates would be challenged to think through how they will guide their respective national chaplaincies in response to the weighty matters the Conference Theme espoused. As the first to ever attempt to host and convene such a World Military Chaplains Conference the SANDF Chaplain General and his staff were under considerable pressure. However, this Conference did not come about overnight, but was the product of years of planning and transparent negotiating between Chaplain 6 | Curtana † Sword of Mercy General Cornelissen and myself who at the time was the United States European Command’s Staff Chaplain for African Military-to-Military Religious Affairs. Laying the Foundation for Shared Ministry The planning began on a cold and wintry evening at the United States Military Armed Forces Recreation Center’s Edelweiss Hotel in Garmisch, Germany on February 14, 2006 during the NATO Military Chief of Chaplain Conference where the Chaplain General of SANDF has been an invited guest since 1999. It was here that Chaplain General broached the subject with me for a World Chaplain General’s Conference. I immediately pledged my wholehearted support of Chaplain General’s idea. I would utilize the expertise that my office had accumulated over the past 17 years with sponsoring the NATO Chief Chaplains Conference to help make the World Conference a dream come true. I mention this to impress upon the reader that great and wonderful things, such as the World Chaplains Conference, seldom happen without the Blessings of God, deliberate planning and a lot of trust between peoples and Governments. This is especially true in today’s political climate. In the summer of 2002 I had been invited to South Africa, by then Chaplain General F.F. Gqiba, to work with a team of SANDF Military Chaplains on the second leg of developing the Masibambisane Project into a program that would stress ethics, morals and values. This project would become the CHATSEC Program. Which, in my humble opinion, remains the foremost HIV/AIDS prevention-training course available anywhere in the world today! I was immediately impressed with the dedication and spirituality of the South African Chaplains that I met and would work with. I became especially well acquainted with Chaplains Cornelissen, Makalima and Dill. Over the next seven years I would cement my friendship with these men and make new friends with a great number of African military chaplains.

  • After God Is Music: Affliction, Healing, and Warfare in Haitian Pentecostalism
    AFTER GOD IS MUSIC: AFFLICTION, HEALING, AND WARFARE IN HAITIAN PENTECOSTALISM Lenny J. Lowe A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Religious Studies in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: Todd Ramón Ochoa Laurent Dubois Laurie Maffly-Kipp Yaakov Ariel Brendan Thornton © 2017 Lenny J. Lowe ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Lenny J. Lowe: After God is Music: Affliction, Healing, and Warfare in Haitian Pentecostalism (Under the direction of Todd Ramón Ochoa) This dissertation explores a version of Pentecostal-charismatic Christianity in Haiti popularly known as Lame Selès (Fr. L’Armée Celeste), or “The Heavenly Army.” Within Haiti’s Protestant population more broadly, these independent Pentecostal communities are often viewed with suspicion and accused of being charlatans or practitioners of Vodou in a Christian guise on account of their combinatory ritual practices and musical styles. Based on data drawn from fieldwork among some of these communities in Port-de-Paix, Haiti, I argue that these independent Pentecostal communities are an important site of the kind of religious combination that has long characterized religion in Haiti and the Black Atlantic world. Drawing on resources within the “hot” and combative Petwo style of Vodou and combining it with “spiritual warfare” discourse drawn from global Pentecostal and charismatic Christian culture, these communities use music and divine healing to engage and attack spiritual sources of affliction common among the poor majority in contemporary Haiti, ranging from bodily and mental illness to anxiety and officially sanctioned injustice.

  • Barber Final Dissertation
    The Gospel Horse in the Valley: Evangelical Slavery and Freedom in the Chattahoochee Valley, 1821-1877 by Stephen Presley Barber A dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama May 9, 2011 Keywords: Slavery, Religion, Baptists, Methodists, Georgia Copyright 2011 by Stephen Presley Barber Approved by Charles A. Israel, Chair, Associate Professor of History Kenneth W. Noe, Draughon Professor of History Anthony G. Carey, Associate Professor of History Abstract This dissertation examines the introduction of evangelical religion into the Chattahoochee Valley of Georgia during the frontier era, the formation and characteristics of biracial churches during the antebellum period, and the post-bellum racial separation and organization of independent black churches. It will document the attitudes, ideas, and actions of evangelicals as they formed, organized, and maintained biracial churches in the Chattahoochee Valley. In these churches, black and white evangelicals practiced “evangelical slavery,” defined as the manifestation of chattel slavery in the context of evangelical Christianity as practiced by slaveholders and slaves. This study also discloses the complexities of interactions of blacks and whites and their experiences as they grappled with the uncertainties and conflict brought about by emancipation. This dissertation is the first narrative of the religious history of the Chattahoochee Valley from the beginnings of white settlement to the end of Reconstruction. It is a subset of larger works on southern religion, but uniquely examines the continuity of southern evangelical religion between the time of the invasion of the Chattahoochee Valley by Methodist missionaries in 1821 and the practically complete institutional religious separation by 1877, thus augmenting and challenging previous interpretations of processes and chronology by revealing local patterns of behavior by black and white southern evangelicals.

  • I Premillennium Tension
    52Souls Souls Winter 2005 Malcolm X Premillennium Tension Malcolm X and the Eschatology of the Nation of Islam Wayne Taylor In 1930, a stranger appeared in the ghetto of Detroit, selling silks, raincoats, and a new religious philosophy that catered to the needs of an oppressed African-American urban population. He taught the tenets of a new religion—the “true” religion of the dark peoples of Asia and Africa, a religion that promised empowerment and redemption for a commu- nity ravaged by racism, migration, and a debilitating economic depression. From these humble beginnings, the silk peddler Wallace D. Fard built one of the most enduring reli- gious enclaves in the American Black community—the Nation of Islam. Elijah Muhammad, Fard’s personal assistant, carried this philosophy to a number of the Black urban centers of the North following Fard’s mysterious disappearance in 1934. The man who sparked the major growth in the membership of the Nation of Islam, however, was Elijah Muhammad’s own disciple, Malcolm X. Malcolm’s articulation of a political and economic agenda for the Black community in the face of entrenched racism moved the Nation from the sidelines of the racial debate to the forefront of the conflict by the 1960s. Malcolm’s tenure as a minister with the NOI, dating from his parole from prison in 1952 until his break with the Nation in 1964, saw membership in the organiza- tion rise rapidly. While scholarly works and popular culture continue to appropriate Malcolm’s message of Black nationalism through political and social unity within the African Diaspora, little has been said about Malcolm’s articulation of the Nation of Islam’s theology, the original theology of his mentor Elijah Muhammad and, by proxy, Muhammad’s mentor Wallace D.

  • The Ethiopian Prophecy in Black American Letters —Vincent L
    .375 .863 .375 5.813 5.813 HISTORY/RELIGION/LITERATURE/AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES Kay “Taking up the reading of a poignant passage of scriptures as analytical wedge, this work is an impressive study of the complexity of the history of African American identity formation and orientation to the world.” Letters American Black in Prophecy Ethiopian The —Vincent L. Wimbush, author of The Bible and African Americans “Sound, theoretically sophisticated, and yielding brilliant readings of the text, The Ethiopian Prophecy in Black American Letters will stand the test of time.”—Katherine Clay Bassard, author of Transforming Scriptures “Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out The Ethiopian Prophecy her hands unto God.” (Psalm 68:31) in Black American Letters or centuries, this verse, also known as the Ethiopian prophecy, has Fserved as a pivotal, seminal text for people of African descent in the Americas. Originally taken to mean that the slavery of African Americans was akin to the slavery of the Hebrews in Egypt, it became an articulation of the emancipation struggle. It has also been used as an impetus for missionary work in Africa, as an inspirational backbone for the civil rights Roy Kay movement, and as a call for a separate black nation. In this intriguing work, Roy Kay offers a series of close readings to examine the myriad uses and conceptualizations of this biblical passage in African American literature and history. Utilizing texts by Richard Allen, Maria W. Stewart, Kate Drumgoold, Phillis Wheatley, Martin Delany, W.E.B. Du Bois, Marcus Garvey, and Ralph Ellison, Kay explores not only the wide variety of ways this verse has been interpreted over the past two centuries but also what it reveals about the changing nature of African American identity.
