history of our church body, sent one Black person into many
chaplaincies, such as jail and prison ministry or other institu-
tions of our land. There has never been a Black LCMS pastorin
college and university ministry. There is no Black chaplain
today in hospital ministry. These and many other break-
throughs have waited for more than 100 years to occur, when
they are so easily done if there is first the will to do so.

challenges and profound opportunities which God continues to
reveal and provide.
