Chaplain Barry Black to be featured on Religion & Ethics Newsweekly

This may be of interest. Chaplain Black is an SDA.

Ed Collins

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chaplain Barry Black will be featured this weekend (in many areas on
Sunday, June 24) on the PBS program Religion & Ethics Newsweekly. To
see how to view Religion & Ethics Newsweekly in your area, go to:

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/religionandethics/index_flash.html

If you cannot see it on television in your area, it will be up on the
PBS web site (Religion & Ethics Newsweekly section) Friday, June 22
in the evening.

Listed below is the description of the segment - straight from one of
the producers: "Since 2003, Reverend Barry Black has served as
Chaplain of the U.S. Senate * the first African American and the
first Seventh-day Adventist to hold this position. In this non-
partisan, non-sectarian job, the 58-year-old not only ministers to
senators and their families, but also to an estimated 7,000 Capitol
Hill staffers, service personnel and police, while at the same time
providing private counseling and coordinating weekly Bible studies."

Chaplain Black talks with Kim Lawton about how his religious
upbringing as a Seventh-day Adventist and service as a Navy chaplain
helped prepare him for his role as Senate pastor. "I see myself as an
intercessor. I see myself as articulating the longings and the
concerns of the people whom I seek to minister to," Chaplain Black
explains. "Having been a military chaplain in a pluralistic setting
of religious diversity for 27 years, I am very, very comfortable with
an environment where I am encouraged to support but not to proselytize."
