July 4 bulletin inserts recount history of Congressional chaplains

[Episcopal News Service] The custom of appointing clergy members to
lead the House of Representatives and the Senate of the United States
in prayer has continued with few interruptions ever since the Senate
elected Samuel Provoost, Episcopal bishop of New York, as its first
chaplain in 1789. ENS Weekly bulletin inserts for July 4 outline the
history of the Senate and House chaplains, many of whom have been
Episcopalians.

>EBAR PICK

"On Second Thought - Essays Out of My Life" by Donald W. Shriver, Jr.,
paperback, 224 pages, c. March 2010, $18.

[Church Publishing] In this, Don Shriver's 15th book, the socially
involved ethicist and former president of Union Theological Seminary
reveals some of the challenging experiences and ideas that have
informed his work. In a book both personal and honest, Shriver
reflects on the nature and importance of books, music, education, war,
friends, marriage, political conflict, and his tenure at Union. The
essays as a whole represent exemplary theological work by showing how
biblical images and themes provided Shriver with both a lens for
interpreting his era and a perspective from which to anticipate the
future. A dominant theme of his work has been the dynamics of
forgiveness in human society and the meaning of forgiveness, beyond
personal life, in the relations of groups and nations. A final essay,
a letter to the great-grandchildren he will never meet, articulates
the positive and hopeful message of this wide-ranging collection.
