HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ore. Friday, November 3, 1961 PAGE S-A .1 Churches More Than Plain Hall By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International Once upon a time, not so many years ago, a church was a simple auditorium - like building used mainly (or Sunday worship serv ices. No more. Today's typical church is a com plex physical (plant with educa tional, social and recreational fa cilities. It (unctions as a commu nity center as well as a house of worship. It is likely to be in use every day and every evening. One result of this trend is noted by the U.S. Department of Com merce in its monthly review of the building industry. "Construction costs of religious buildings have soared in recent years," the department says. "The construction cost for many church es today approaches the $300,000 mark. "Some larger churches include kitchens, snack bars, craft and game rooms, libraries and rendez vous rooms. Some rendezvous rooms are even equipped with hi-fi, television sets, and radios, Church classrooms may include - sewing machines and power saws I Modern lighting, heating and ven 1 tilating equipment also contribute : to rising costs." ; It is extremely difficult, even ; in a well-heeled suburban congre ; gation, to raise enough money for such a layout in a single building fund campaign. So it is becoming customary to build church plants in installments. The first unit usually, though not always, is the sanctuary. This is the big auditorium with altar, pulpit and pews where worship services are conducted. me next step (and in some suburban areas, it may be the first step), is to put up a separate wing or building for Sunday School classrooms. This "educa tion building" quite often also will contain a library, a lounge tor small group meetings, and of fices for the church staff. Then comes the parish hall.

"Religiously it has been through the proliferation of sects," he said.

These are the qualities of the word that the church may well emphasize in the world of our age." he concluded. The delegation also heard Dr. Purd E.

Both Catholic and Protestant families are served by the Chapel. Kingsley Field Chapel Utilizes Seven-Point Chaplain s Program By HELEN L. MERSHON Around the globe the white New England styled wooden chapels raise their steeples skyward, bear ing no further signature, b u t (minting heavenward for Protes tant, Catholic and Jew. These are the U.S. Air Force base chapels, each an amazing complex of activities charted by spiritually-aware men with a vis ion ol God s purpose in a shrink ing world kept in balance by man- contrived speed and power. It is much like any other for mal religious organization, but greatly magnified and faceted to encompass the spiritual needs of men who fly the fastest and most efficient aircraft in the world. And, not in the least, their wives and children. Formally, the network is called the U.S. Air Force seven-point chaplain's program. The activities range from worship and religious and moral education to personal counseling and humanitarian serv ices. It also includes cultural ac tivities, public relations and pas toral functions. "We try to give Air Force peo- pie as normal a church life as they would have In their own home church, said Capt. Jet- ferson Davis Jr., who became Kingsley Field's first chaplain in March. 1959. There are no memberships in the chaplain's constantly chang ing congregation which currently lists 12 different denominations. There is a year-round recruitment program for teachers to work with the Sunday School which num bers more than 200 at all times. Every serviceman and his fam ily is encouraged to keep his denominational church tics. A maze of details have been worked out at Kingsley to help make this possible. A Protestant, strictly endorsed and regularly checked by his de nomination as are all Air Force chaplains. Chaplain Davis is joined by Rev. George A. Mur phy, who serves as Catholic Auxil iary chaplain. Reverend Murphy is pastor of St. Pius X Church in Klamath Falls. Every Sunday the Kingsley Chanel Is readied for the 8:30' a.m. confession and the 9 a m mass said by Reverend Murphy Then the chapel is readied for the Protestant Sunday School and the II a.m. worship service. Personnel of the Jewish faith are few in number at Kingsley, hut arrangements are made for them by the Air force lo at tend High Holiday and important unctions in Portland or San Fran cisco. On larger Air Force bases of course, there are chaplains of all three groups. Details of the seven-point chap lain's program are general, in outline, but are slanted to the in dividual base needs. Under the! first section, entitled "Worship" fall the Catholic and Protestant services and the arrangement of services for Jewish personnel. Services under the second phase on "Religious and Moral Educa tion vary Irom the Sunday School at 9:45 a.m. to which the Air Force makes available audio visual aids to the 7 p m. family Sunday servire which fea tures unusual programs and out standing films such as "M a n Called Peter" and "Quo Vadis." Also falling into this category is ' m. an., i the Boy Scout program and va cation Bible School. An important point in the mor al education outline1 is that Chap lain Davis gives quarterly lec tures on "Dynamics of Moral Leadership" to officers, non-com- missioned officers and airmen. These talks, which are given to the men in separate groups, emphasize Americanism and bas ic moral concepts including job responsibility, attitudes, honesty and integrity. "Entire purpose Is to point up the moral forces you've got to have for an effective military or ganization," Chaplain Davis ex plained Phase three, Personal Counsel ing," encompasses visitation with men and families and availability for counseling, which consumes a large part of the chaplain's busy schedule. He often offers pre-marital counseling and ad vice in the fields of family, fi nances, housing, adjustment and administrative. Chaplain Davis a,su .

They helped support a Ko- rcan orphanage and took gifts to the Old Age Home this past sum mer. They also cooperaie in 'Share Our Surplus" the Church World Service clothing drive, make up food baskets at Thanks giving and Christmas time and support various denominational, projects. , Their current big project is neip-i ing support a mission secondary school in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Ear lier this fall the Protestant Men's Group of the Kingsley Chapel staged a benefit pancake sup per to buy an adding machine for the school. Protestant Women of the chapel hold their own meetings and co operate in the Council of Church Women projects, deluding mi grant work. Under the "Cultural-' or iiitn point in the seven-point program the chapel lists two cnoirs, one for adults, and another for fourth through seventh graders. Tapedj programs of outstanding music and guest choirs are also included in the chapel schedule. Public Relations," the sixth phase of the chaplain's program, is well represented by Chaplain Davis, who has become a famil iar personality in civic and reli gious circles in Klamath Falls. Constantly working to further relations between the chapel and the community, he often gives talks explaining chaplain duties. Currently he is president of the Klamath County Ministerial Asso ciation and is chairman of the youth committee for the Klam ath Falls Kiwanis Club. Marriage ceremonies, baptisms, final rites and memorial services fall under the seventh point, "Pas toral Duties. Like all things dealing with people, not every part of the chaplain's life can be categorized. For instance, Chaplain Davis always present at pre-fllght brief ings and makes a point of be ing around" when alerts or oper ational exercises are called. Actually the chaplain's field1 So. 6th & Shasta Way Store Only OPEN 'TIL MIDNIGHT Monday Thru Saturday Open 10:00 a.m. to 7 p.m. SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS MARKET BASKET So. 6th & Shasta Way Store Only spreads far beyond Kingsley. He is official chaplain to two radar squadrons one located at Klam ath, Calif., and at Red Bluff, south of Redding. Once each month Chaplain Davis takes on 800 mile round trip to assist with religious activities for the 300 men sta tioned at the two stations. He arranges for civilian clergy men to conduct an annual reli gous emphasis on the base, but also attends one of the special Spiritual Life Conferences" ar ranged for personnel by the Air Force at four scenic spots in the U.S. This year he attended the retreat at' Lake Tahoe. In service for the past five years, the chaplain with the Ar kansas drawl is constantly con scious not only of his spiritual du ties, but his role as an Air Force officer. For in addition to cleri cal duties, he abides by the same regulations as other officers. Chaplain Davis, who wears the "filched cross" of Air Force sil ver and blue (symbolic of the -two-edged sword") wears his professional insignia . over h 1 s hMrt nntme h clnlra 1m tt,o destiny of the men and women who serve in the Air Force. Perhaps a quotation from the chaplain's manual sums up his duties best: "Ministers, priests and rabbis serve as chaplains In the Air Force for the purpose of under- girding the technological skills and requirements of our gener ation with a spiritual power which is derived from the conviction that man, indeed, does not live by bread alone."
