Biographical Note / Administrative History

Administrative History

In October 1940, the General Council established the Presbyterian United World Emergency Fund to meet wartime exigencies at home and abroad. At the General Assembly in 1941, the Presbyterian Emergency Service Commission was created to supervise the Church's work with personnel in the armed forces. During 1941-42 this commission assisted in the interviewing of potential chaplain candidates, helped finance a small number of churches in camp areas, and provided inspirational and devotional literature for servicemen. It also participated in certain interdenominational projects, established various service centers in Alaska and a Hospitality House at Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, and provided a corps of ministers to work in camp communities throughout the southern states.

At the General Assembly of 1942, the Presbyterian United World Emergency Fund was reorganized and replaced by the Presbyterian Wartime Service Commission. The Emergency Service Commission became a committee of this commission known as the Committee on Camp and Church Activities. Created in October of 1942, this committee continued the work of the Presbyterian Emergency Service Commission. Its concern for the welfare of the servicemen resulted in the creation of twenty-two Hospitality Houses throughout the US and Cuba, including four joint denominational operations, which served an estimated 1.5 million men. The Committee made appropriations to 151 local church projects, 23 interdenominational projects, 30 student projects, 2 special projects and 7 cooperative projects. With the conclusion of the war and vast numbers of veterans entering colleges and universities, the Committee provided for the appointment of former chaplains to certain universities in cooperation with the Department of University Work of the Board of Christian Education through the Westminster Foundation. The Committee also ministered to the wounded in Veterans' Hospitals and to prisoners of war via the International YMCA, as well as to those still on active duty. It aided in the rehabilitation of returning service personnel via conferences, seminars and other activities. In 1946, the Committee and the Presbyterian Committee on Army and Navy Chaplains merged to form the Committee on Chaplains and Service Personnel, which after 1958 became known as the Department of Chaplains and Service Personnel.

Collection Overview

Record Group 10 documents the various committees, commissions and departments, 1940-1975, established by the Presbyterian Church in the USA and later the United Presbyterian Church in the USA to deal with the recruitment, training and supervision of chaplains and their ministries to personnel in all branches of the armed forces. The collection consists primarily of the records of the Committee on Camp and Church Activities, 1942-46. Included are the Committee's minutes, correspondence and reports that deal with camp area, interdenominational and rehabilitational projects. The activities of the committee are documented extensively.

The minutes and correspondence of the Committee's predecessors are also included, i.e., the Presbyterian Committee on Army and Navy Chaplains, 1941-46; the Presbyterian Emergency Service Commission, 1941-42; the Presbyterian United World Emergency Fund, 1940-42; the Presbyterian Wartime Service Commission, 1942-45. These records are not as complete as those from the Committee on Camp and Church Activities.

The records of the Committee's successor, the Committee on Chaplains and Service Personnel, 1947-53, are also included and consist primarily of diverse meeting minutes. Within this series are the records of the Restoration Fund, 1947-53, which do extensively document via minutes and progress reports the Church's commitment to postwar reconstruction. After the establishment in 1958 of the United Presbyterian Church in the USA, the Committee on Chaplains and Service Personnel was reorganized as the Department of Chaplains and Service Personnel under the General Assembly. The records from this reorganization are incomplete and do not extensively reflect the Committee's/Department's activities during the 1950s and 1960s.
