About this book
The Religious Program of the Young Men's Christian Association With the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe is a First World War report by Henry Churchill King (1858-1934), the theologian who served as president of Oberlin College from 1902 to 1927. King spent 1918 and 1919 in France as director of the YMCA's religious work among American troops, and this document records what that work looked like on the ground: hut services, Bible classes, personal counseling, and cooperation with army chaplains across the AEF camps. The author, who also served on the 1919 King-Crane Commission surveying the postwar Middle East, wrote from direct observation rather than secondhand summary. For historians of American religion and the YMCA's Red Triangle war effort, it remains a valuable primary source.
