�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

The commandment "Thou shalt not kill," would seem to make it unlikely that a committed Christian would ever choose to pursue a career in the armed forces, where killing the enemy is, at the very least, a real possibility. Becoming an army chaplain might well be seen as an even more astonishing choice for someone seeking to serve God. And yet, the British armed forces have had chaplains since the beginning of warfare itself. Men and women from the traditional established churches who accompany the troops into the very face of the foe, seeking to care for the spiritual and moral welfare of the troops. Despite all the changes in the society and warfare, the decrease in church attendance and the weakening of the spiritual profile of our nation, military leaders still want a padre to accompany them into action. For 40 years, Stephen Blakey was one of these padres. With humour and insight, he shares the joys and the struggles of being the 'man of God' amongst what is sometime a pretty ungodly community.

�ber die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Stephen A. Blakey was born in the house where the Scottish poet Robert Burns died, and it seems that he might have inherited some character traits from Bard himself. Blakey's love for Rugby Union may have interfered with his academic studies but in due course it provided an invaluable point of contact with his military parish. The longest serving chaplain in the British Army, with over 40-year service, he ministered to every element of what is now the Royal Regiment of Scotland…at home and overseas, in war and in peace, on the rugby park and in church.
