Rhem Christ Community Church Spring Lake, Michigan May 9, 1999 Transcription of the spoken sermon A gentleman visited a congregation on Sunday. He was quite taken with the service and really got into the sermon. He shouted "Amen," and a little later, "Hallelujah." People around him felt a bit uncomfortable, distracted, and some were annoyed. Then came the outburst of enthusiastic affirmation, "Amen, praise the Lord!" An usher approached the gentleman and tapped him on the shoulder, suggesting he restrain himself to which the man replied, "But, I got religion!,” to which the usher replied, "Well, you didn’t get it here!" That is a humorous way of saying that there is a variety of religious experiences and there is a classic study of religion by the American philosopher William James. He delivered the Gifford Lectures in Edinburgh in 1901-02, nearly a hundred years ago, and entitled his lectures The Varieties of Religious Experience. This Eastertide season we are looking at several examples of religious experience and the insight or understanding that marks the respective expressions. I am particularly focusing on the variety aspect of religious experience today because, along with the celebration of Mother’s Day, we broaden the focus to the Christian family and especially today, the welcoming of a group of young people who have completed a course of study about Christian faith and life as we understand it here. We have called this moment of recognition The Rite of Christian Identity, a rite of passage which we mark here in their lives - and not only theirs, but others of our youth who may not have followed this particular path of group instruction and experience. What we are doing is very intentional and it represents a significant change from the more traditional way we have viewed this moment in the past, a way that is still standard in most congregations. What we are doing is affirming our young people as members of this community of faith, this faith family, and encouraging them to assume responsibility for their ongoing faith journey along with us. © Grand Valley State University   �Peter: a Rocky Road Richard A. Rhem Page 2   In our ritual, what we do symbolically is transfer the candle to their hands. As an infant in arms they receive the sign of belonging; they are family - we baptize them and a candle is given to parents as a sign that they belong and as a sign that parents can use to nurture them in the consciousness that they belong - to God – to the family of God. Now a candle is placed in their hands as a sign that the time has come for them to assume the responsibility to nurture their own flame of faith. We have made two very significant changes as Christ Community. The first we made some years ago. Someone told me that at St. Peter’s Church in Geneva, Switzerland, where John Calvin preached, the pastor baptized the infant and then asked the parents to speak vows of faithful nurture. This was just the opposite from our practice, which I think reflected the practice of most congregations namely, asking the parents to speak their vows before baptizing the child. Upon hearing of the practice at St. Peter’s, I knew immediately that was the proper order, for it placed the baptism in the grace of God before any human intention or obligation. Sheer grace is bestowed in baptism; the child belongs because God claims the child - not because parents promise to be faithful. The second change we are enacting this morning. The traditional way of receiving young people into the Church was through the personal profession of faith in God through Jesus Christ, which in recent years we called Confirmation. Confirmation is a good word; we may yet resurrect it. The idea of confirmation is that the promises spoken over the infant at baptism are confirmed as true in the life of the youth. That is not so different from what we are doing this morning with this significant change. Today, as their pastor, I am not saying, "Do you believe this and that?" "Will you promise this or that?" Today I simply welcome; I declare to them what is already, in fact, true: they belong. They are members of this community of faith. Today I do not ask them to declare anything or step over some line. I do not call them to be converted, or to be saved, or whatever. Today we make one significant shift; we put the responsibility for spiritual growth and development in their own hands. Not that we abandon them now. They continue to live in our love and our prayerful concern for their wellbeing. But, we face them with the fact that we have done what we could for them. Finally, there is no force-feeding in the Christian life. They are a vital part of this community; they belong. But how they live out their life and develop their spirituality is now shifted to them, to their determination. These two significant changes are deeply rooted in our theological and biblical understanding. They are rooted, as well, in our understanding of human development. © Grand Valley State University �Peter: a Rocky Road Richard A. Rhem Page 3   Let me say a word about human development first. We have come to realize that these adolescent years are precisely the time young people do not need to be pressured to make a life decision. I do not claim to know much about developmental psychology, but this seems very clear to me; our young people in these tumultuous years with all the pressures of growing into young adulthood need to be embraced, included, assured and told quite clearly in word and ritual that they belong, that they are loved, respected, and cared for. There was a time, and in most places it is still the practice, when what we did was draw a line and invite them to step over to join us by some faith profession. And what if they weren’t sure intellectually, or secure emotionally? What if pressure of parent or pastor caused them to do it, but with some question or resistance? What if peer pressure said do it or peer pressure said don’t do it? And what of those who resisted the pressure and did not go through the routine? Or, going through the routine, decided not to proceed? All such considerations finally convinced us that this was not the time to put our sons and daughters through that kind of experience. Now is the time they need our warm, assuring embrace. That’s what we do today. You belong. Theologically, I believe that is proper. These young people have in their baptism the sign and seal of God’s Spirit. That is not a conditional promise with a time limit. There is no sunset clause connected with their being part of the family of God. A child baptized in infancy, nurtured in the biblical faith and Christian tradition cannot "join the Church." They are the Church. And I believe the best way to ensure their spiritual well-being is to let them know that, feel that, and to let them know that we are all together on a path of spiritual adventure and experience. Toward what do we point them today? Toward the movement from secondhand to firsthand spiritual experience. In the Gifford Lectures of William James, to which I referred earlier, James distinguishes secondhand religious experience and firsthand religious experience. What is secondhand experience? Let me quote him: I speak now of your ordinary religious believer, who follows the conventional observances of his country, whether it be Buddhist, Christian, or Mohammedan. His religion has been made for him by others, communicated to him by tradition, determined to fixed forms by imitation, and retained by habit. (Lecture I) That is an insightful analysis. What can we say but that that is the description of most religious observance of most religious people: someone else’s vision and awareness, transmitted over the generations by tradition, expressed in fixed forms which are imitated, ongoing through habit or custom. Secondhand religion © Grand Valley State University �Peter: a Rocky Road Richard A. Rhem Page 4   has its value; it has given structure to human existence as well as understanding and meaning to life. I suspect most of us who continue in religious observance do so in the secondhand variety. But, there is something more; something richer and more compelling - there is firsthand religious experience, religious experience that consists of my own insight, conviction and passion. It is the difference between saying, "The tradition or the Church teaches," and "I believe, I am convinced!" That it is to which we point our youth and, indeed, not only our youth, but all of us. For all of us the spiritual life is not a static set of beliefs and practices. If it is a vital part of our life, it is an ongoing adventure of fresh insight, deepening trust, sometimes the desert, the wilderness, the dark night of the soul. Sometimes a period of refreshing joy like the rain, rebirth. It is not a matter of being saved or lost - or being lost until one is saved by repeating the right words and phrases or praying "the believers prayer." Spiritual life is a journey with highs and lows, sunshine and heavy skies, and in it all is the God Who embraces us and through it all we are never abandoned. I think Peter is an example of the topsy-turvy ride of religious experience. In the Gospels, he seems to be the spokesperson for the disciples. In Matthew’s Gospel there is a critical juncture in the 16th chapter - Jesus asks who the disciples think he is. Peter blurts out his confession, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the Living God." Jesus says, "Blessed are you, Simon bar Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my father in heaven." Then Jesus gives him a new name, or, perhaps better, a nick name. He calls him in Greek Petros, which is in the Greek language, "Rock." His father’s name was Jonah or John. Bar Jonah means son of John or we would say, John’s son, or simply Johnson. So, instead of being Simon Johnson, Jesus names him Rocky Johnson. Was Jesus endeavoring to give to Simon a new identity - of being like a rock? And if so, was it because Simon was shaky? After the question, "Who do you say I am?" Jesus went on to tell of his suffering and again Peter jumps in, not at all sensitive to what Jesus was saying, denying it in fact, so that Jesus rebukes him. "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me ..." From Rocky to Satan in one afternoon! © Grand Valley State University �Peter: a Rocky Road Richard A. Rhem Page 5   And then we read the story of Jesus’ arrest and Peter’s denial that he knew Jesus. Jesus had warned Peter of his proud presumption saying Peter would deny him three times and now Peter had done it - and he wept bitterly. Of course, in John’s Gospel, Peter is restored to service by Jesus, but it is interesting that when Jesus asks if Peter loves him, he uses the old name, Simon, son of John. Perhaps we shouldn’t make too much of that, but it is interesting. The lessons from Acts and Galatians are simply further indication of the unsteadiness of Peter. He has a vision on the rooftop, the message of which is that nothing is unclean. The vision has to do with foods clean and unclean - the ritual food laws of Judaism, but the message has to do with the wiping out of the distinction between people - Jews and Gentiles. Peter has the vision, is invited to the house of Cornelius, the Roman Centurion, and realizes God’s Spirit has been there before him. He gets the message: I truly understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.... Acts 10:34-35 Great insight, Peter. Paul learned that, too, and he was preaching the Good News throughout Asia Minor. Peter visited him in the Galatian congregation and sat at table with the Gentiles - until some church visitors, Jewish Jesus folk from Jerusalem, arrived. Then Peter got up from the table of Jews and Gentiles and joined the Kosher only table. I use these snapshots from the life of Peter simply to illustrate my contention this morning that the Christian life is a spiritual journey with peaks and pitfalls. It is uneven, knowing periods of passionate engagement and lean seasons when there is little joy or passion. If it was true of Peter - or, should I say, Rocky Johnson, it will be true for most of us sometime. This is what I want our young people to know - that throughout their journey, whether it be faith’s springtime or winter chill, God keeps them. God was at your beginning, God will be at your end, and God will be with you . . In the meantime. That is so critical to know, to believe. You will hear other messages. And maybe other approaches to the life of faith will move you and attract you. And that is fine. We are not all the same; we respond to a variety of approaches and appeals. © Grand Valley State University �Peter: a Rocky Road Richard A. Rhem Page 6   Reading the Saturday newspaper, I read an article about a March for Jesus to be held in this community and the nation this month. I am not inclined to be a part of that, not because Jesus is not for me the way, the truth and the life, but because I sense something in the movement that doesn’t feel right to me. It is almost as though we need to hit the world over the head with Jesus. There is a militancy, a triumphalism about it that makes me uncomfortable. And that gives me occasion to say that the Grand Haven City Manager, Mr. Cotton, is absolutely right - constitutionally, of course, but even in terms of civility and sensitivity, in recommending that the cross be not raised on Dewey Hill in what is a national holiday. Thank God for our nation, our freedom, but do not connect cross and nation. It is to denigrate the cross, to identify its universality with a national celebration. That is sacrilege. Is that not part of what is happening in Kosovo and other points of conflict resulting in ethnic cleansing? Again, are we so insecure that we must become so blatant? Next month an evangelist, John Guest, will conduct an evangelistic crusade in Grand Haven and there will be a youth dimension as part of the crusade. There you will hear quite a different word than you’ve heard from me. John Guest is a friend, an honorable Christian leader. Some years ago he preached here and some of you knew and came to love him during the 60s when he carried on a beach ministry. There will be a straightforward preaching of the traditional Gospel of salvation and an invitation to turn one’s life over to Jesus, to be saved, to use the old language. And some of you just might need such a clear call and challenge. But, hear it as a further challenge on your spiritual journey, not as one lost in danger of hell. I read the publication of a high school youth ministry in this area, First Priority, which also clearly distinguishes the saved from the lost and seeks to use the "saved kids" to win "the lost kids." Apparently they are successful. But, I wince at the easy classification of the saved and the lost. Who has a right to determine that, and on what basis? Again, there are varieties of religious experience; different people respond to different approaches and appeals. I do not want to be understood this morning preaching against anyone or any organization. But, I do want to be clear with our own youth. I want the message of this community to be loud and clear because I do believe we offer an alternative variety of religious experience. You belong. God loves you. God’s grace includes you. And you are invited to the rich spiritual adventure of living in this faith community and finding your own firsthand experience. © Grand Valley State University �Peter: a Rocky Road Richard A.

Rhem Christ Community Church Spring Lake, Michigan November 16, 1986 Transcription of the spoken sermon ... you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church. Matthew 16:18 ... He... said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me; for you are not on the side of God, but of men." Matthew 16:23 Peter is either an Apostle made for this series, or this series is made for Peter, I'm not sure which. But, if the series hadn't come along, it would have had to be invented in order to do justice to Peter, in order to get Peter before us as a saint who was not exactly made of stained glass. Peter, the Disciple about whom the most is spoken in the Gospels, the one who is not only most spoken of, but the one who speaks the most, the one who speaks over and over again, sometimes magnificently and sometimes miserably – Peter who had many faults and failings, but one of which was not that he was "Mr. Cool." Peter was the person who was pretty open. He had a difficult time disguising what was going on in the inside of his mind and heart. Peter was a man who spoke before he thought, but never maliciously, always sincerely, always in exuberance, with enthusiasm. He had many faults, but one of them was not that he lacked passion. He was in many ways blundering, but he was in all ways lovable. And his sins, which were many, were covered, because he loved much. And in the end, the faith that Jesus placed in him was more than vindicated by this unstable man who became solid as a rock: Peter, the Apostle. I was amused this week thinking about Peter. The Christian Church has done a marvelous job about being contentious about things that don't really matter, and I was reflecting on the old Protestant and Catholic debate about the role of Peter. I have stood in St. Peter's in Rome and I have seen etched in marble in large letters the name of Peter. And then the succeeding names, all of those who have occupied the chair of Peter in Rome. I know, as good Roman Catholic historians know today, that there are some gaps in those early centuries. I also know, as the © Grand Valley State University   �Peter: Rocky Richard A. Rhem Page 2   best of the Roman historians and theologians know, that to project back from the twentieth century or the sixteenth century or the thirteenth century the conception of the papacy, to project it back into the first century and to invest Peter with it is a fruitless and futile exercise which has little value. And yet, I've shared with you before that I was impressed and I was moved standing before that list and seeing the name of Peter and knowing that, even if every name in those early generations could not be verified as having held the recognized primacy in the Roman Church, nonetheless, the very fact that I was standing there in the twentieth century in the greatest basilica in the world was an indication of the continuity of the Christian tradition that had indeed come down to us from Jesus Christ, who said to Peter, "Thou art Peter, and on this rock I will build my church." I was amused and laughed to myself about how ridiculous we have been over the centuries in the Church with all of the battles we have fought. As a matter of fact, it probably would have been to the Protestants' advantage to admit that Peter was the first Pope because it would have been the best argument in the world against infallibility, which was not an early Church doctrine, but one that came on only subsequently in later centuries as a means of buttressing the authority of the Church. Peter was the first Pope. At least Peter had the preeminence in the apostolic band. There's no doubt about that. In every listing of the Disciples, in the Gospels, they are in different order, with two exceptions. Peter is always named first; Judas is always named last. Peter did have a kind of investiture by Jesus. I suppose that it was somewhat because of his natural endowments. He was a leader but, beyond that, it was because Jesus had tapped him and called him and claimed him and commissioned him to be at the head of that apostolic band. He had a kind of preeminence among his peers and his equals in the early band of disciples. So, Jesus chose a reed in order to make him into a rock. Peter. Rocky. His way was rocky. He often rocked the boat, and he stumbled a good many times along the way. His way was rocky, but he became solid as a rock, I suppose, through the insight of Jesus who named him Rock before he was solid, who named him in order to enable him to live into his name. The Quaker Elton Trueblood is responsible for this understanding of Rock, or Peter, as a nickname. I've shared it with you before, but it's too good not to keep sharing over the years, and maybe some of you haven't heard it. So, let me tell you what really happened when Jesus called Peter, Peter. You have to understand, first of all, that there's no record anywhere of anyone being called Peter before the time of Jesus. It was not a name. The Rock. Jesus called him Rock. Now, his name was Simon, and when Jesus really meant business with him, he addressed him as Simon Bar Jonah. “Bar” meant "son of." Jonah would be our word for John. Peter's father's name was John, and John named Peter Simon. © Grand Valley State University �Peter: Rocky Richard A. Rhem Page 3   So, Jesus was really giving to Simon a new name. Not seriously in the sense of rechristening him, but he was giving him a nickname, a nickname which often picks out a characteristic of a person, and when a nickname is really expressive of something that is so intrinsic to that person that you can't think of that person ever again without the name, then you've done a good job of naming. Jesus called Simon, who was the son of John, Rock or, as we would say, Rocky. Now, he was the son of John, but the son of John has come down to us as a last name - Johnson. Johnson is not really a last name, a label of some sort that derives from any other place than from the fact that the person so named was a son of John and with the inversion it became Johnson, and so what Jesus was saying to Simon was, " From now on you'll be Rocky Johnson." And that's true. Rocky Johnson. Simon Bar Jonah, Simon Son of John, Rocky Johnson. The Church is built on Rocky Johnson! And I agree with the Church in Rome. I think he was the first Pope. The first pope was Rocky Johnson! What a great joke! What a sense of humor has the Almighty! What a needle to discourage all of the pomp and seriousness and self-importance of the Church over the centuries when you think of the fact that Jesus gave preeminence to a person upon whom he said he would found the Church, a person no less than Rocky Johnson! Now, when you think of all of the self-importance of all of the church leaders, popes and priests and bishops and preachers and even an elder and a deacon or two, when you think of all of our presumption, all of our pompousness, our pomposity and all of the ceremony – how we take ourselves seriously in this world as though finally God and Truth and existence itself depended upon the likes of us serious-minded individuals. Whenever you get to thinking that – whenever you get to thinking that it all rests on you, whenever you get to thinking that you carry the whole world on your shoulders, then remember that Jesus said, "I'll put the whole business on the shoulders of Rocky Johnson!" And think of Peter and then realize that the first thing that you've got to do is laugh at yourself. And the second thing is to get on with the job with good courage. Because, if God could do something with Peter, my, what he could do with you! Simon Peter. We call him Simon Peter now, but Simon, son of John, Rocky Johnson, was the one who was spokesman for the apostolic band and who gave that great confession to the question of Jesus, "Who do you say that I am?", "You are the Christ, you are the Messiah." The Messiah. We really should translate that Messiah, not use the Greek word Christ, because what Peter was saying is, "You are the one toward whom the whole Old Testament points. You are the fulfillment of the promise to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. You are the great David's greater Son. You are the Anointed One, the one anointed with the spirit, the breath, the life, the power of God. You are the Son of the living God." And Jesus blessed Peter for that, and acknowledged that it wasn't something that Peter came to because he had some great intellect or some great ingenuity, some great intuitive sense, but it was because Almighty God had made it known to him. And then he went on to say, "You are Rocky, and on you I will build my Church." © Grand Valley State University �Peter: Rocky Richard A. Rhem Page 4   And we went on and read another paragraph and we found that, as Jesus began to prepare his disciples for the inevitability of that which lay before him, speaking about his entry into Jerusalem and his death, Peter said, "Not so, Lord." Peter, once again, as exuberant in his protest this time as he was enthusiastic about his confession just a little bit before, said, "It won't happen to you. Lord. It just couldn't possibly happen to you. Not while I'm here!" The enthusiasm, the lack of cool, the confidence and overconfidence in his own power and stability – all of that coming out of Peter, protesting against that which Jesus was saying, refusing really to hear that difficult word. He says, "It won't happen as long as I'm around, to which Jesus had to say the most severe word he said to anyone – "Get behind me, Satan. You're not on God's side, you're on man's side." And so it was that the first Pope not only was given a great declaration of blessing by Jesus, but also was given hell by Jesus. That's the kind of saints that make up the Church of Jesus Christ. Up one minute and down the next. Filled with inspiration and speaking out of revelation one minute, and the next minute so filled with their own self-preoccupation and their own designs and destiny that they can't hear the Lord speak, and therefore go contrary to Him and can actually be spoken of as being on the side of the Evil One. Peter, in all of his boasting, was doing it really out of the beautiful quality of his love. There were other disciples who didn't say anything to what Jesus was saying. And that's not to their credit. Peter at least responded, but he responded out of his own limited insight, his own twisted vision of things, this first Pope of the Christian Church. Jesus had to say to him on another occasion when Peter said," If it takes going all the way to death, it won't happen to you," Jesus warned him that before the cock would crow twice, he would deny the Lord three times. And you know the story: Peter following Jesus after his arrest, after an aborted attempt to protect Jesus by the drawing of his sword, warming himself by the fire in the courtyard of the High Priest, denying to chambermaids that he had any knowledge at all of Jesus. One wonders how all of those things can coexist in the heart of one man. How one can be so firm and clear in one's declaration of faith one moment and so miserable in one's denial to the extent that he cursed, saying, "I don't know the man"? Was he like Falstaff, only running to protect himself to return and fight another day? I think that's probably being too kind to Peter. I think that Peter was that kind of person that is made up of light and shadow, of light and darkness. He had a light side and a shadow side. He was a mixed bag; he was filled with equivocation and ambiguity; he had a great love; he had a great devotion; he had a great loyalty. He was fearful, he was afraid, he was chicken! He was as inconsistent and unstable and unreliable and unpredictable as I am! And all four of the Gospels record that miserable denial. One of them, only Luke, tells us that when Peter denied the third time and the cocks marked the rising of the sun, Jesus looked at Peter. They all tell us that Peter went out and wept bitterly. © Grand Valley State University �Peter: Rocky Richard A. Rhem Page 5   Have you ever had to look into the eyes of Jesus and turn and weep bitterly? It's not a fun experience, because in that moment one knows that one has not only denied one's Lord, one has denied the truth, one has denied oneself, one has defeated the best that is in one, and one's hopes and ideals and dreams and aspirations come crashing down in a moment, and all one can do at such a moment is to weep bitterly. It is interesting that in Mark's account of the Resurrection, Jesus encounters the women and says, "Go and tell my brethren, and Peter." Isn't that just like Jesus? Go and tell my brethren, and Peter. Be sure you tell Peter. Tell the rest, but just in case you might think that Peter is now an exception, set aside to be isolated, to be judged and condemned, let me tell you, you be sure and tell Peter. And then, of course, there's the scene after Easter when the disciples are out fishing. Peter was still eating his heart out. In the 21st chapter of John where it begins, Peter says, "I'm going to go fishing." When you're really hurting, when you're really distraught and confused, the best thing to do is to do the thing you do best, to go back to the old, familiar routine. Peter said, "I'm going to go fishing." And Jesus came and made a charcoal fire on the beach and prepared breakfast. And in that encounter post-Easter, he caught Peter's eye and he said, "Do you love me?" Peter said, "Yes, I love you." And he said, "Feed my sheep." And he said a second time, "Peter, do you love me," and Peter said, "Yes, I love you." He said, "Feed my lambs." And he said to him a third time, "Peter, do you love me," and Peter was distressed because he said to him a third time and he said, "Lord, you know all things. You know that I love you." He said, "Feed my sheep." (I just want you to know that we're even now. Three times you denied me, three times I make you tell me what I know is true. You love me.) Unpredictable, unstable, unreliable, irresponsible, compulsive, wonderful, enthusiastic, passionate, blundering idiot, Peter, first Pope, Rocky Johnson. Judas denied his Lord and he went out and he hanged himself. Have you ever thought of hanging yourself? If you have ever gone out and wept bitterly, then you have had the thought in your mind and in your heart that it would be easier to end it all? A judge did that in Detroit this week. Many years of respect, reputation, no doubt quality service, then exposed and he shot himself. So did Judas. Suicide is probably the ultimate action of wounded pride. When I finally come full turn and see who I really am, that's difficult enough to take. But, when everybody else knows it too, it's almost easier just to be done with it all. Judas hanged himself after betraying his Lord. Peter wept. He had all of the same inclinations and all of the same feeling and all of the same self-accusation and all of the same pain, but he caught Jesus' eye, and instead of killing himself, instead of giving up on himself, instead of selling short the grace of God, he came back once more. Rocky Johnson. Alexander White, the great Scottish preacher with fruitful imagination, has us imagine Peter climbing into the pulpit to preach the funeral sermon of Judas. © Grand Valley State University �Peter: Rocky Richard A. Rhem Page 6   What do you think might have been his text? What do you think might have been his plea, his cry to those who gathered in the wake of Judas? Might he not have said to that gathered audience, "Judas quit too soon. He gave up on God and so he gave up on himself. But don't ever give up on God, for His grace is greater than all our sins. No matter how deep you have fallen, how badly you have failed, how dark the night, how deep the pain – grace greater than all our sins can transform us and make us new again." Rocky Johnson. Let him be a sign to us that the Church is founded on the possibility of a second chance, of a new lease on life, of beginning all over again! And then, with Rocky Johnson, maybe we, too, will come to the point where someone will say, "Speak no more in his name," and we'll be able to say with calm confidence and deep assurance, "You'll have to judge for yourself whether it is right to obey God or man. But, as for me, I cannot but speak the things that I have seen and heard. Jesus Christ whom you crucified, God raised up. And he's made me new. Blessed be His holy name." Amen and amen. © Grand Valley State University � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

always planned on joining the Navy -He enlisted in the Navy sometime in 1958 when he was seventeen years old -His parents granted him permission to join -Upon joining he made sure that his mother was

USS Bennington was an aircraft carrier -Specifically an attack carrier that carried about 200 fighter jets -He worked in the boiler room -Prior to joining the USS Bennington he had never been on a ship before -The ship was so big that if you were below decks it didn’t even feel being on a ship -This meant that the only time that he got seasick was when they hit rough water -The first cruise lasted six months �-During the cruise stopped in Hawaii and then at Yokosuka, Japan and at Sasebo, Japan -They were allowed to go ashore at Hawaii and at Japan -It was a culture shock for him, but he enjoyed the experience -Couldn’t understand why some sailors were complaining -Felt that they were taking too much for granted -His purpose working in the boiler room was to provide steam for the ship -Both for the engine and for the catapult that launched jets off of the ship -There were eight 600 pound boilers -The boiler room’s temperature was about 120oF -Worked either four hours on then four hours off or four hours on eight hours off -If you weren’t in the boiler room you were also doing other duties -Basically there wasn’t a lot of downtime on the ship -There were 2000 sailors onboard

meant he couldn’t be a paratrooper -Before leaving the Navy he was able to get his GED -His time in the Navy ended in March 1962 -At the end of his enlistment he was in the Philippines -Left the ship at Subic Bay then travelled up to Clark Field -Because he was a petty officer he could fly home, not sail home (00:17:19) Joining the Army & Basic Training -He stayed out of the military for over ninety days -Enlisted in the Army and reported for basic training on May 10, 1962 -His basic training was at Fort Jackson, South Carolina -He entered the Army as a corporal and was able to go through

trainees -Basic training lasted eight weeks (00:20:18) Advanced Individual Training (AIT) -After basic training he went to AIT to specialize as an infantryman �-AIT was also at Fort Jackson -There was

the 101st in December 1965 -Only wound up staying with the 101st for only six months -While at Fort Eustis he had applied to go to OCS, but he was denied -His colorblindness prevented him as well as a

what the infantry had in the field -Started off living in tents, but eventually built more permanent living structures -Learned that you couldn’t leave tools out in the sun, otherwise they’d be too hot to touch -He stayed at Bien Hoa for the entirety of his deployment -He only went out into the field if a helicopter was shot down -He would go out with another mechanic and assess if it could be salvaged -If it could be salvaged it would be repaired in the field and then flown out -He would go into the field once every two or three weeks -He enjoyed going into the field, but recognized that

that deployment (00:39:12) Loss in Vietnam -He remembers one soldier in his crew that had a family back home with a baby on the way -This crewman wanted to transfer to a helicopter crew to be a crew chief -It meant getting a better pay, but also being in greater danger -Ben tried to convince him not to transfer, but he did anyway -A few weeks later that crewman was killed -That was the one thing that happened during the first deployment that stuck with him -It taught him not to get too close to people in Vietnam (00:40:59) Officer Candidate School (OCS) -At the end of 1966 he was finally approved to go into Officer Candidate School -He flew back from Vietnam to Fort Benning, Georgia -He knew what to expect upon going into OCS after spending so much time at Fort Benning -The verbal harassment didn’t really surprise him, or faze him at that point -During one training mission he was made a rifle company commander -As a result he was scrutinized more, but also supported more -The trainers during OCS were tough, but they were supportive of him -Some of the candidates were washed out or recycled into a new class -Some men just couldn’t take the training anymore or just didn’t

supply logistics for the battalion -After being a support platoon leader he was made a company commander -His company was under strength (only about 50% of what a normal company should be) -The problem was that men were volunteering to be redeployed to Vietnam -As a result this was taking troops out of Germany -During his time as company commander he didn’t have any discipline problems
