A Chaplain's Handbook on Providing Effective General Protestant Worship Opportunities for Blacks

Abstract

The General Protestant Service is composed of a complex configuration of many denominations, races and theological persuasions. The format and manner in which it is conducted usually conforms to the expectations of majority parishioners. The study makes an evaluation of the extent to which Protestant chaplains are capable of providing effective worship experiences for Blacks within the framework of the General Protestant worship service. The study concludes that with the existing structure and format of the service, chaplains are very limited in their ability of providing effective worship experiences to large numbers of Blacks in the General Protestant service.
