• W845434545 abstract "Faith Under Fire: Anglican Army Chaplains and the Great War. By Edward Madigan. (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2011, Pp. xi, 296. $90.00); God and War: The Church of England and Armed Conflict in the Twentieth Century. Edited by Stephen G. Parker and Tom Lawson. (Farnham: Ashgate, 2012, Pp. 239. $99.95); The Clergy in Khaki: New Perspectives on British Army Chaplaincy in the First World War. Ashgate Studies in First World War History. Edited by Michael Snape and Edward Madigan. (Farnham: Ashgate, 2013, Pp. 222. $ 124.95.)Edward Madigan's Faith Under Fire (2011), Stephen G. Parker and Tom Lawson's God and War (2012), and Michael Snape and Madigan's The Clergy in Khaki (2013) have appeared just in time to combine increased sensitivity to taking religion seriously with the upcoming centenary of the Great War. Both Faith Under Fire and The Clergy in Khaki challenge the common assumption that chaplains, Anglican chaplains in particular, performed poorly at the front during World War I. Likewise, both argue that this reputation is decidedly unfair and at odds with the historical record.In Faith Under Fire, Madigan notes the high expectations Anglican clergy had for spiritual revival in 1914 and their patriotic enthusiasm for the British cause, which the overwhelming majority believed was morally just. Using data from Crockford's Clerical Directory, War Office records, and the papers of Deputy Chaplain-General Llewellyn Gwynn, Madigan determines that most of the Anglican clergy came from middle or upper-class public school and Oxbridge backgrounds. Once in France, chaplains were hampered not only by class barriers and popular irreligiosity, but also by a lack of training and relatively few official duties. As a result, most took up unofficial duties such as organizing sports and entertainment. The senior officers initially saw the presence of non-combatant chaplains as dead weight and therefore banned them from the front. However, once the Western Front had settled into a stationary war of attrition officers came to appreciate the positive impact of cheerful chaplains on troop morale.Moreover, records of awards for gallantry reveal that once actually at the front, chaplains were generally as courageous as their peers. Although dismayed by enlisted men's rejection of organized religion, chaplains often believed the Tommies' self-sacrificial virtue revealed an unconscious ethical Christianity that could develop into orthodoxy after the war. Veteran clergy aimed to bring the cross-class solidarity and equality of the trenches into the post-war world. Magidan argues, then, that the war-time experiences of Anglican clergy influenced their participation in various post-war social reform endeavors. In short, the negative image of Anglican chaplains is largely a myth that arose as a result of a few incompetents; rumors regarding their ability to move to the front lines, their privileged position as non-combatants, and their class background (244-47).Madigan and Snape's edited collection seeks to provide the most comprehensive study of British chaplains during the Great War yet assembled. Since the experience of Anglican and Roman Catholic chaplains is by no means unstudied, the first several essays emphasize the experiences of Nonconformist chaplains. Later essays that do address Anglican and Catholic chaplains shed new light on the subject by focusing on understudied topics such as the appointment of a Catholic bishop to act as the ecclesiastical supervisor of British Catholic chaplains and the experience of Indian Ecclesiastical Establishment chaplains. …" @default.
