From the Paper
"How does a chaplain provide pastoral care to a legally blind, deaf woman in the hospital to provide a sense of God's presence with her in this difficult time? Hunsinger points out that Christian pastoral caregiving is not just a technique but an offering of oneself in Christ. The ...th-century French priest St Vincent de Paul recognized that ministry is imparting the presence of God to people. If God is the center of your life no words are necessary. Your mere presence will touch..."

"Jewish Contributions in the America Civil War
This paper will examine the involvement of Jewish people during the American Civil War. The first part of the paper will examine the participation of Jews in the North and will discuss such issues as the appointment of Jewish chaplains and the creation of all-Jewish units. The second part of the paper will look at the experiences of Jewish soldiers in the Confederate Army. The last part of the paper will compare Jewish participation in the war to that of German and Irish Catholics, who comprised the bulk of recent immigrants to the United States.


The American Civil War occurred soon after the huge immigration waves of German and Irish during the middle of the Nineteenth Century, but before the large waves of Eastern and Southern Europeans during the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the Holy Spirit is important in the lives of Christians; it guides, protects, convicts, and comforts, and plays a major role in the lives of chaplains. The paper posits that not only does the chaplain need the Holy Spirit in his or her own life, but the Holy Spirit is needed in order to help others.

From the Paper
"This paper discusses the topic of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit plays an important role in a Christian's life. The Holy Spirit guides, teaches, and protects. As a chaplain, the role of the Holy Spirit is two-fold because a chaplain not only is in charge of the worship service, but the chaplain also counsels individuals and families. The Holy Spirit helps the chaplain in these roles as a spiritual leader. The Holy Spirit in the Life of the Believer One of the promises Jesus gave to his disciples was that the Holy Spirit would come. John 14:16 states, "And I will pray the Father, and he shall...""

From the Paper
"The conversation between Colonel Cathcart and the Chaplain in Chapter 19 of Catch-22 illustrates the theme of bureaucratic mentalities. Colonel Cathcart is the epitome of the bureaucratic mindset. Joseph Heller, the author, emphasizes Colonel Cathcart's selfish motives by presenting him in contrast to the Chaplain, who suffers for others. The episode between Colonel Cathcart and the Chaplain proves that there is always a "catch-22," even for diehard bureaucrats.

Colonel Cathcart is a man blinded by irrational ambition. His desire is to make general, and he plots to accomplish this by calling attention to his own deeds: "He was complacent and insecure, daring in the administrative stratagems he employed to bring himself to the attention of his superiors and craven in his concern that his schemes might all backfire" (197). Colonel..."

From the Paper
"In order for the chaplain to be used by God, the chaplain must rely on the Holy Spirit for guidance.
"Chaplains must have a good relationship with God and the Holy Spirit. A chaplain must allow the Holy Spirit to guide, teach, comfort, and protect in his or her own life. Having a good relationship with God enables the chaplain to help others. Sometimes the words the chaplain says to others will make the difference in life and death. Military people rely on the chaplain to guide them and to help them understand the promises of God."

Abstract
The paper examines the important lessons of greed, timidity, and escapism that Yossarian learns from Orr, Milo, and Chaplain Tappman in "Catch 22" by Joseph Heller. The paper shows how the capitalist audacity of Milo is a central role in the novel, which provides the disloyal premise of greed that makes no man loyal in the reality of war.

Abstract

Conclusion

From the Paper
It is appropriately called First Vancouver CRC and was established in 1926. The church is located at 2670 Victoria Drive, near the Broadway and Commercial SkyTrain stations, and has a current average Sunday service attendance of 150. It was begun by a group of Dutch immigrants and grew with the influx of more Dutch immigrants after WWII, many attracted to Canada because the Canadian army played a major role in the liberation of the Netherlands (Schaap, 1998:311). This church accurately reflects the fact that "very few faith-based agencies give expression to their religious commitments by limiting clientele to their own community members...rather, they serve the general public."

Abstract

From the Paper
"Francis L. Sampson was born in Cherokee, Iowa on February 29, 1919. He graduated from Notre Dame University in 1937, and entered St. Paul's Seminary located in Saint Paul, Minnesota, where he studied to be a Catholic priest. He was ordained as a priest in 1941, and worked as a priest briefly until 1942, when he enlisted in the U.S. Army as a chaplain. By 1943 he had completed Army chaplain school and joined the 501st Parachute Regiment, of the 101st Airborne Division, as the regimental chaplain, a position he held until the end of the war. Sampson was well liked, as his official Army biography notes, he was "'one of the most respected and best-loved officers in the Regiment,' while S.L.A. Marshall in Night Drop, portrays Sampson as 'a jolly man, deeply loved by the Regiment'" (Hourihan). The 101st was one of the regiments that parachuted into France during the Invasion of Normandy, or D-Day."

Students at Montclair State University need to have the option of pursuing some form of spiritual enrichment on campus and need the proper facilities to pursue this. The study identifies the need for worship facilities and discusses the students' perceptions and attitudes regarding religious needs, as well as educational needs, on campus.

Abstract

From the Paper
"Quintard's work is a unique perspective. Maybe his viewpoint was a product of his education. Maybe because Quintard was a doctor and a pastor he was allowed to move through the ranks of the military without the pressures of winning the war pressing down on his every thought. His work was one of winning people, not winning political disputes. As he practiced medicine, and offered spiritual guidance, he was free to reach into the hearts and souls of the soldiers. Their lot was to kill, to take the next hill without being cut down by a surprise flank attack. The freedom with which Quintard could observe the war allowed him to record the personal reality of the conflict."
