Excerpt from The Chaplain
For the first time in ten years the Nobel committee announced last fall that no peace prize would be awarded for the year. This has happened sixteen times since the award was instituted in 1901. It would seem a bit presumptuous to second-guess the distinguished group that weighs and announces these decisions. No doubt there are complex factors involved, some of which may not lend themselves to public discussion. Yet, one wonders whether the cause of peace would not be better served if the prize were awarded every year without fail. Even in times of war and international tension the peace award ought to serve as a brave and hopeful reminder of better things and nobler ways.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a concise history of the General Commission on Chaplains and Armed Forces Personnel. The Commission emerged fifty years ago as part of an effort to lend more organization to the role of chaplains in the Army and Navy during World War I. Since its inception, the Commission has taken the lead in promoting interfaith understanding, providing support for chaplains, and organizing initiatives such as the annual award of the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize. The author touches on the controversies surrounding the awarding of the prize and suggests it might be more effective if it were awarded every year, even in times of war. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of chaplaincy or the evolving role of religious belief within the US military.
