Dr. Nancy Jill Hale on the vital role chaplains played during the American Civil War.\nCivil War chaplains served not only as captains on the regimental field staff\, but also as p astors\, confidants\, spiritual guides\, and paternal figures for the sold iers. Many of them willingly shared the hardships of army life and undert ook various tasks that would help the men. Some chaplains risked their li ves and freedom for the sake of their sense of duty to God and to their re giments. In their accounts\, they share the perspective of men whose main concern was the spiritual and moral well-being of the soldiers\, and thes e stories\, some of which have not yet been shared in print\, shed a diffe rent and sometimes very poignant light on the lives\, faith\, and sense of duty of men in the army\, before\, during\, and after a battle. This pre sentation will introduce Civil War chaplaincy and will include a few stor ies of chaplains at Gettysburg.\n The Rev. Dr. Nancy Jill Hale is a United Methodist pastor and serves a church in Fayetteville\, PA. She is also a Licensed Battlefield Guide at Gettysburg National Military Park. Her rese arch has focused on the lives and stories of Union chaplains\, and she por trays the only woman to serve as a chaplain during the Civil War\, Ella Gi bson Hobart. Two of her articles on chaplains have been published in Gett ysburg Magazine\, and her novel "Faith and Duty" describes the challenges of a fictional chaplain as he learns how to be faithful both to God and to the men in his community as they enlist to serve in the federal army. He r latest book\, "A Sight Never to Be Forgotten" (Gettysburg Publishing) in cludes first-hand accounts from Union chaplains who were present at the ba ttle of Gettysburg.\nDinner reservations for this event must be made by no on on Sunday\, March 1.
