PBS Interviews Barry Black
On June 22, 2007, PBS’s Religion and Ethics NewsWeekly featured an interview of Barry Black, chaplain of the United States Senate and a Seventh-day Adventist minister, by Kim Lawton. Here’s an excerpt:
LAWTON: There’s been a chaplain in the House and Senate since 1789. Some argue that violates the separation of church and state, but Black insists it is constitutional. Although Seventh-day Adventists actively spread their faith, Black says he’s well aware of boundaries in his job.
Chaplain BLACK: Having been a military chaplain in a pluralistic setting of religious diversity for 27 years, I am very, very comfortable with an environment where I am encouraged to support but not to proselytize.
