CIVILIAN PUBLIC SERVICE UNIT SIXTY-THREE: MENNONITE CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS IN WORLD WAR II

CIVILIAN PUBLIC SERVICE UNIT SIXTY-THREE: MENNONITE CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS IN WORLD WAR II.
Creator
CUMMINS, DORRIS LILLIAN CRATE., Florida Atlantic University, O'Sullivan, John
Abstract/Description
This thesis examines the background and wartime service of Mennonite conscientious objectors who, when drafted during the Second World War, were assigned work as attendants at the State Mental Hospital in Marlboro, New Jersey. The commitment of Mennonites to lives of nonresistance and to work they viewed as Christian service is shown to be totally consistent with their history and ideology. The work of Mennonite conscientious objectors alleviated the suffering of the mentally ill and their...
Show moreThis thesis examines the background and wartime service of Mennonite conscientious objectors who, when drafted during the Second World War, were assigned work as attendants at the State Mental Hospital in Marlboro, New Jersey. The commitment of Mennonites to lives of nonresistance and to work they viewed as Christian service is shown to be totally consistent with their history and ideology. The work of Mennonite conscientious objectors alleviated the suffering of the mentally ill and their dedication inspired the Mennonite Central Committee to support a program designed to improve mental health care in America.

PACIFIST MOVEMENT IN THE METHODIST CHURCH DURING WORLD WAR II: A STUDY OF CIVILIAN PUBLIC SERVICE MEN IN A NONPACIFIST CHURCH
Title
THE PACIFIST MOVEMENT IN THE METHODIST CHURCH DURING WORLD WAR II: A STUDY OF CIVILIAN PUBLIC SERVICE MEN IN A NONPACIFIST CHURCH.
Creator
EWING, EMERSON KEITH., Florida Atlantic University, O'Sullivan, John
Abstract/Description
The Selective Training and Service Act of 1940 provided that the conscientious objector could do "work of national importance under civilian direction." The arrangement worked out between the government and the National Service Board for Religious Objectors was the Civilian Public Service camps. The Methodist Church had the largest number of Civilian Public Service men of any nonpacifist church. Methodists strongly emphasized pacifism and the evils of war in the 1930s, especially among the...
Show moreThe Selective Training and Service Act of 1940 provided that the conscientious objector could do "work of national importance under civilian direction." The arrangement worked out between the government and the National Service Board for Religious Objectors was the Civilian Public Service camps. The Methodist Church had the largest number of Civilian Public Service men of any nonpacifist church. Methodists strongly emphasized pacifism and the evils of war in the 1930s, especially among the youth. This thesis examines a number of the Methodist men who chose Civilian Public Service instead of either combatant or noncorobatant military service. The study concerns itself with the church's influence upon them, their relationship to the church while in Civilian Public Service, and the effect of this experience on their relationship to the church following their service.

Pacifists have traditionally been treated harshly in the United States. Numerous conscientious objectors were imprisoned during the First World War. Civilian Public Service was established in the course of World War II by the government and the historic peace churches to provide suitable alternative work for men conscientiously opposed to martial violence. Encampments were created at sites all across the country for these persons under this program. Great resentment arose in some of the...
Show morePacifists have traditionally been treated harshly in the United States. Numerous conscientious objectors were imprisoned during the First World War. Civilian Public Service was established in the course of World War II by the government and the historic peace churches to provide suitable alternative work for men conscientiously opposed to martial violence. Encampments were created at sites all across the country for these persons under this program. Great resentment arose in some of the facilities against the federal authorities over several controversial issues. The American Friends Service Committee organized a hookworm eradication project near Orlando, Florida. This particular unit was unusual in many ways. It continued to function smoothly despite the widespread bitterness evident throughout the system. The men stationed at this camp made a determined effort to contribute something of value to the local community. Although strongly opposed by various citizens, these objectors gained enormous satisfaction from their endeavor.
