A week from Sunday an opportunity will be
given to the Episcopal cadets to attend a
Communion Service in their own church. The
response to this opportunity has always been
great. The expressions of appreciation for
the oppoi'tunity have always been many. Ca
dets who go to this service at the Episcopal
Church will form in their regular fashion and,
as usual, proceed to Memorial Hall. After the
Navy Service has progressed to a point fol
lowing the “Navy Hymn,” the cadets going to
the Episcopal Church will depart in time to
attend this service at 1030.
This will also be Communion Sunday at the
General Protestant Service. During this period
of Lent when we are all more conscious of our
Christian obligations, this can be a very mean
ingful gesture.
There has been a very definite turn toward
matters of religion in our Navy. This comes,
not only from my own observations but is
substantiated by the chaplains who have been
“out there,” many of whom have lost their
ships.
Even in the most difficult conditions, the
various commanding officers have seen a value
in the opportunity for religious expression
and have leaned heavily upon their chaplains
in their capacity as “assistant for morale.”
And why not? The very principles for which
the United Nations are fighting are those
freedoms which are the essence of Jesus’ teach
ings. Of course there is response to religion!
Remember, it is the church pennant only that
flies above the National Ensign.
