True ecumenism in action.

"Just pray that I shall be adequate."--Rev. Clark Poling, Dutch Reformed pastor and hero aboard the U.S.A.T. Dorchester on February 3, 1943.

The prayer was answered--and then some--that cold February morning. A German U-Boat torpedoed the Dorchester, a troop transport on the way to Britain. Four chaplains--one Jewish, one Catholic, one Reformed and one Methodist--gave the last full measure of devotion to their country and God that cold morning, organizing the survivors, passing out life jackets, and ultimately giving up their own.
