Radio Hotline & Audio News Releases 8th Annual Four Chaplains
Service The Interfaith Service remembers the lives of Chaplains of the USAT Dorchester; Lt. George L. Fox, Methodist; Lt. Alexander D. Goode, Jewish; Lt. John P. Washington, Roman Catholic; and Lt. Clark V. Poling, Dutch Reformed. On February 3, 1943 at 12:55 a.m., German submarine U-223 spotted the Dorchester. After identifying and targeting the ship, torpedoes were fired. The hit was decisive--and deadly--striking Dorchester’s starboard side, amidships, far below the water line. It was their actions in the chaos that followed that has endeared the Four Chaplains to all generations. After distributing the last life vest, the Chaplains offered their own, and chose to minister to the sick and dying on the deck of the sinking Dorchester and praying with one another as the ship sank beneath the icy North Atlantic waters. Their acts of bravery and faithfulness are a model for us today. For those who wish to tune-in for the service via the Internet, click here. An electronic version of the bulletin will also be available to follow the service. If you have any questions, please contact the church at 386/445-3420, or e-mail us at tbingol@stmarkbythesea.org |
