PBS INTERVIEWS CHAPLAIN BARRY BLACK

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.
