Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Story of the Work of the Army and Navy Department of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew in the United States (Under the General Guidance of the Church War Commission): During the Great War 1917-1919; Among the Military and Naval Forces of the United States A little more than two years ago the President of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew called us to our task - to lead the laymen of the Protestant Episcopal Church who were willing to make a contribution of Christian effort in the vast network of National camps, then to be established, where our brothers were to be massed for the Great War. The chaos of these times caused men to make tremendous decisions and in the ever mounting tide of preparation, there was started by our men a quiet valuable influence, helping men to order their lives in the sight of the Master, which may well be counted one of the romances of our Church´s service to men. Our effort was unique in that we planned a simple program to help those in the service organize among themselves for personal Christian service. The method of carrying out this program was also unique in the Church because the work was effected through a central organization of laymen, nation-wide in its scope and administration. The history and report of the activities and the accomplishments of this effort will be found in the pages following. There will be found a chapter detailing the early organization of the Army and Navy Department of the Brotherhood, followed by a comprehensive statement of the entire work in brief, for the reader who is not interested in the closer detail. Then follow in turn, chapters which give the unusual and effective relations which were established and maintained with the National War Work Council of the Young Men´s Christian Association; an intimate introduction to the men who served as Secretaries in the camps; a description of the Personal Workers Group plan of organizing the enlisted men for Christian service; and the story of the voluminous correspondence had with the Churchmen in the Army and Navy, quoting many of their interesting letters, and telling how their names and addresses were secured and registered on the Great Honor Roll of the Church. A separate chapter then tells of the specific work performed by each secretary, together with a partial description of the Church´s activities in each camp served by them. It is expected and understood that the Church War Commission will give in the reports to be issued by them a more exhaustive and comprehensive description of all the very splendid and self-sacrificing service rendered by the Chaplains. A short account is given of the distribution of the magazine of the Brotherhood, St. Andrew´s Cross and how this paper was appreciated as appears from the letters received. The Christmas Greeting sent to the Churchmen in 1918 is mentioned in the next chapter, followed by an account which gives an intimate picture of the men in the service as disclosed by their requests for material comforts and reading matter.
