Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There is a time to preach and a time to fight. And now is the time to fight." With those words, the Rev. John Muhlenberg stepped from his pulpit, removed his clerical robe--revealing the uniform of a Colonial officer--and marched off to war. Many of the ministers who became chaplains in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War carried muskets while ministering to the spiritual needs of the troops. Their eyewitness accounts describe the battles of Lexington and Concord, life on a prison ship, the burning of New York City, the Battle of Rhode Island, the execution of Major Andre, and many other events.

Download or read book America s First Chaplain written by Kevin J. Dellape and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013-10-25 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America’s First Chaplain is a biography of the life of Philadelphia’s Jacob Duché, the Anglican minister who offered the most famous prayer and wrote one of the most infamous letters of the American Revolution. For the prayer to open the First Continental Congress, Duché was declared a national hero and named the first chaplain to the newly independent American Congress. For the letter written to George Washington imploring the general to encourage Congress to rescind independence, he was accused of high treason and sent into exile. As a result of this apparently irreconcilable contradiction in the minister’s behavior, many of his contemporaries and most historians have assumed he was weak, that in the moment of crisis – his imprisonment by British authorities during their occupation of Philadelphia - he cut a deal with the British for his own safety. The evidence gathered from the life of Jacob Duché, however, points to a very different conclusion, one that reveals the immense complexity of the American Revolution and the havoc it wreaked on the lives of the people who experienced it. The story of this deeply religious rector of Christ Church and St. Peter’s reveals the human side of the Revolution, a story that includes great accomplishment and great tragedy. It also provides insight into the complicated nature of Pennsylvania’s “democratic” revolution, the unique difficulties faced by Anglican leaders during the revolution, and the weakness of simplistic categorizations such as patriot or loyalist. For more than two centuries two events – a prayer and a letter - have obscured our view of the extraordinary life lying in the background. This biography attempts to reinterpret the prayer and the letter in light of the man behind them and in the process to uncover the real significance of both as well as to gain a glimpse into the complexity and contradictions of the American Revolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Chaplain of the Revolution My story opens after the manner of Mr. G. P. R. James, with a solitary horseman making his way through the wilderness of Western Massachusetts and New Hampshire, to join the patriot army at the old fortress of Ticonderoga, in August, 1776. Rev. Enos Hitchcock, then a young man of thirty-one, was colleague pastor with Rev. Mr. Chipman of a Congregational church in Beverly, a native of Springfield, and a graduate of Harvard in the Class of 1767. Like most young men of that period, he was an ardent patriot, and threw himself into the contest with Great Britain with the enthusiasm of a generous nature. He had been appointed chaplain of Colonel Learned's regiment, and was subsequently promoted to the chaplaincy of General Patterson's brigade. In following his fortunes through the war of the Revolution and in the pastorate of the First Congregational Society in Providence, I shall make free use of his manuscript diaries, kept on interleaved almanacs, and preserved in the archives of the Rhode Island Historical Society. The brief entries from day to day on these stained and yellow leaves bring home to us the events of that great struggle more vividly than the formal pages of the historian. We catch glimpses, here and there, of the discipline of the army and of the trials and joys of the men, which are found only in the narratives of an eye-witness and active participant.

Download or read book Answering the Call written by William E. Dickens, Jr. and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 1999-04 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that the standardization of the American military chaplaincy occurred during the Civil War. It shows that the chaplains of the North and South provided the model on which the modern chaplaincy is based. This model is seen in both the regulations which were established during this war and the actual ministry of the chaplains with the men of their assigned units. To accomplish this task, the book traces the history of the military chaplaincy from the American Revolution through the American Civil War. This analysis relies heavily on official documents and reports as well as personal accounts, letters, and diaries. It also incorporates appropriate secondary source material.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chaplains and Clergy of the Revolution I have regretted especially that I could obtain nothing satisfactory respecting the Lutheran Church, which ren dered the country good service. But notwithstanding the necessary incompleteness of the work, I feel I have done something towards giving the clergy and the pulpit the place which they ought to have in the history of the Revolution, and furnished a book which will benefit the generation now rising into manhood, by directing the mind not only to religious influences, but to the great source of all national bless ings, as well as to battle fields and the strong legions.
