Abstract

Rabbi Elkan Voorsanger received the Purple Heart for his actions during the Battle of Argonne. Chaplain Edgar Siskin, serving with the Marines on Pelilu Island, conducted Yom Kippur services in the midst of a barrage of artillery fire. Rabbi Alexander Goode and three fellow chaplains gave their own lifejackets to panicked soldiers aboard a sinking transport torpedoed by a German submarine, and then went down with the ship. American Jews are not usually associated with warfare. Nor, for that matter, are their rabbis. And yet, Jewish chaplains have played a significant and sometimes heroic role

Abstract

By way of theoretical analysis and documented case studies from a number of countries, Military Chaplains as Agents of Peace considers Religious Leader Engagement as an emerging domain that advances the cause of reconciliation via the religious peacebuilding of chaplains-a construct that may be generalized to expeditionary, humanitarian and domestic operational contexts. <

Abstract

La vie et l’œuvre du cardinal Liénart donnent un relief particulier à la lecture d’une expérience vécue par de nombreux prêtres dont le courage et l’abnégation sont restés dans les mémoires. Dans son journal de guerre, il a noté les grands et les petits faits et gestes de la vie de chaque jour : banalité du quotidien, fraternité des tranchées, horreur des champs de bataille, avec en filigrane le souci constant de l’aumônier d’organiser la vie religieuse des soldats : messes et saluts, fêtes religieuses, funérailles…, célébrés souvent dans des chapelles de fortune jusqu’au cœur des tranchées. Il partage les espoirs et les doutes des soldats, reçoit confidences et confessions qui restent dans le secret des cœurs mais dont on peut deviner la profondeur. Adjoint au service de santé il secourt les blessés, au péril de sa vie. Il relève, identifie et inhume les morts. Achille Liénart a rédigé après la guerre le récit de ces événements, objet de la présente publication. D’un style, alerte le récit est abondamment illustré et aide à saisir comment l’expérience de « l’aumônier légendaire » du 201e RI, a marqué la personnalité du futur évêque de Lille. Plus généralement il est un témoignage poignant de la vie des tranchées et du rôle irremplaçable qu’y ont joué les aumôniers. Leur fraternité avec les « poilus » dont la souffrance reste souvent indicible, est faite, dans la vie comme dans la mort, de patriotisme, de foi, de courage et découragement, de révolte parfois, sans toutefois que s’éteigne la lueur de l’espérance. Un CD complète la publication de cet ouvrage. Il comprend la retranscription du journal quotidien dans son intégralité, la reproduction de l’ensemble du cahier manuscrit et des carnets de sépultures.

Abstract

Padres in No Man's Land is the compelling story of brave and deeply committed army chaplains who brought faith and courage to Canada's troops during one of history's most devastating wars. Tracing the growth of the Canadian Chaplain Service from its chaotic and controversy-ridden early days to its maturation as an efficient field force, Duff Crerar highlights both the role of the Service on the battlefield and the personal experiences of the chaplains. Refuting the widely held view that chaplains serving overseas were cloistered from front-line realities, Crerar describes the padres' experiences in camps, hospitals, and on the battlefield. He examines how they maintained their faith in the face of death and destruction, and explores the bonds forged between chaplains and troops. Padres in No Man's Land concludes in the postwar era with the decline of the chaplains' hopes for spiritual renewal upon their return to Canada - their dreams dashed not by the war, but by the subsequent peace.

Abstract

As chaplain for the US Army's 102nd Evacuation Hospital in the European Theater, Renwick C. Kennedy--""Ren"" to those who knew him--witnessed great courage, extreme talent, and many lives snatched from the precipice of death, all under the most trying conditions. He also observed drug and alcohol abuse, prejudice, narrow-mindedness, and chronic depression. What he saw, he chronicled in his journal, and what he wrote, he processed with an intellectual and ethical rigor born of his remarkably sophisticated worldview and his deeply held Christian faith. With Kennedy's war diaries an
