"In the language of the Holy Writ, there is a time for all things.
There is a time to preach and a time to fight. And now is the time
to fight." With those words Rev. John Muhlenberg stepped from his
pulpit, removed his clerical robe, and revealed the uniform of a
Colonial officer. He then marched off to war. These are stories
about ministers that became chaplains in the American army during
the Revolution. Most of these men were not content with just
administering to the spiritual needs of the troops, but they also
took up the musket for the cause of liberty. These ministers
provided eyewitness accounts of the Battles of Lexington and
Concord, life on a prison ship, the burning of New York City, the
Battle of Rhode Island, the execution of Major Andre, and many more
events. The dedication of these men can be summed up in the words
of thirty nine year old Chaplain Caleb Barnum as he lay dying on
his deathbed, "That if I had a thousand lives I would willing lay
them down on my country's cause."
