Pastor Barry Black is the first person of color in the nation's history to serve the spiritual needs of our country's lawmakers as Chaplain of US Senate. He was appointed to the position by Republican Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist in 2003. He serves God in a non-partisan manner by ministering to all people of faith. Because of his faithfulness to the Lord, he holds the honored position with great humility.

Pastor Black had to overcome unpromising beginnings. He was raised in the ghettos of Baltimore. Through his faith in Jesus Christ he overcame many obstacles that had the potential to negatively impact him to a profound degree. He took his humble beginnings and used them to set his feet on higher ground.

From the ‘hood in Baltimore, he now ministers to those in the prestigious halls of Congress. Barry revels in the love and deliverance of his merciful Lord and Savior. Through hard work and countless hours of studying the Word, Pastor Black gained the wisdom needed for his ministry. He is admired and looked upon with favor.

For twenty-seven years Pastor Barry Black served as a chaplain in the US Navy. He is a two-star admiral and the only black American to ever serve as the US Navy's Chief of Chaplains. The pastor holds doctorate degrees in Psychology and Divinity.

Barry Black was dedicated as a baby to the Lord. He is a born-again Christian and a member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Barry's father died at an early age, leaving a Godly mother to raise him and his brothers and sisters. The good pastor was taught the Holy Scriptures at his mother's knee. Because of his loving mother's guidance, Black now finds his life a blessing. He is an affectionate man who can harness prayer power and share the gift of the Holy Sprit with others.

"People of God are compelled to vanquish the Hitlers of the world, as well as other brutal murderers of innocents that become a great threat to the United States of America. Saddam Hussein one such threat..."

Many believers wonder if a born-again Christian can take the positions of both hawks and doves during wartime. The answer is yes. God leads a person to think critically, with balance and discernment. As many on both sides of the aisle agree: The diplomatic approach should always be attempted first. There may, however come a time when diplomacy fails and we are left with no choice but war.

People of God are compelled to vanquish the Hitlers of the world, as well as other brutal murderers of innocents that become a great threat to the United States of America. Saddam Hussein was one such threat; he threatened neighboring countries, oppressed his own people with torture and genocide and allowed terrorists to train within his borders.

American and coalition forces have saved millions of innocent Iraqi lives while protecting our homeland. Under President Bush's watchful eye, we have had no terrorist attacks since 9/11.

The majority of our troops serving our country are of the Christian faith. Pacifism is not a luxury that the world can afford because of the perplexing and tumultuous times we live in.

President Bush, who is a practicing Christian, is illustrating through his actions the differences between the Democrat Party and the Party of Lincoln. The GOP is strong on defense; it will not shirk its duty when fighting the War on Terror nor desert the good people of Iraq.

Unfortunately, prayer often is not enough to fight the evils of our time. Christians must prayerfully move forward to save the multitudes. When evil prevails, Godly men and women of the cross must not stand by idly. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13). Indeed, we are to follow our Lord's example. Christ laid down His life for all mankind.

"In all labor is profit" ( Proverbs 14: 23 ). There is profit in giving the Iraqi people their freedom and protecting them until they can rightfully protect themselves from terrorism. By taking a firm stand in Iraq, we protect America.

One can be assured that the good pastor who serves on the Hill is offering his mighty prayer power. He is praying for President Bush, our Congress, and our men and women serving their country with valor. Pastor Barry Black prays for the protection of the United States and asks God daily to spare us from further terrorists attacks.

"Blessed are the peace makers." (Matthew 5:9). Unfortunately, in this sin-filled world, sometimes peace can only be achieved after fighting back the darkest evils.

Until there comes a day when "we study war no more," there will always be the need for our brave men and women to serve our country. They will want to do so due to belief in their noble goal of setting captives free.

America needs Godly pastors such as Chaplin Barry Black who can pray with the leaders who serve in our Capitol.

As is GBush

The diplomatic approach should always be attempted first. There may, however come a time when diplomacy fails and we are left with no choice but war.

The word Diplomacy does not exist in America

Saddam Hussein was one such threat; he threatened neighboring countries, oppressed his own people with torture and genocide and allowed terrorists to train within his borders.

Look how easyily Americans are fooled, there's not a shred of evidence to support the claim that he allowed terrorists to train within his own borders!

American and coalition forces have saved millions of innocent Iraqi lives while protecting our homeland. Under President Bush's watchful eye, we have had no terrorist attacks since 9/11.

Who wrote this crap, Bush?

Christ laid down His life for all mankind.

Shame he doesn't do it now to save all the innocent victims as a result of Bush and Bliar's war on terror!

America needs Godly pastors such as Chaplin Barry Black who can pray with the leaders who serve in our Capitol.

Pitty they don't all stay at home then! Give me a bucket

Wow, is that lame.
I love God and God loves me so let's go kill some Iraqis.
Progap ... Gropa ... Anda ... How do you spell 'propaganda?'

A splendid example of why the Founding Fathers in the US wrote into the Constitution:
SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.

How would the Churches in the US like it if the State started poking around in their neighbourhood? Lets start by removing their tax exempt status.

Thank god for that - sad about Bali, Madrid, London etc etc - but hey! as long as the USA is safe thats all we care about

Bush has definately brought unity to the world - the world is united in its hatred of the USA - thats a fact

America needs Godly pastors such as Chaplin Barry Black who can pray with the leaders who serve in our Capitol.

I'm surprised this black geezer got past the security, normally Bush has no time for non-whites or New Orleans would be rebuilt by now.

Pastor Barry Black is the first person of color in the nation's history to serve the spiritual needs of our country's lawmakers

actually (and this is a lesson for Americans) - white is a colour too

The majority of our troops serving our country are of the Christian faith.

Thats a laugh - if they were they wouldn't kill innocent people and children for the hell of it

I gotta go - I feel sick
