Encampment

A Novel of Race and Reconciliation

By: Carl Eeman

Halfway between the Emancipation proclaimed by Lincoln in 1863 and the dream of Free at Last proclaimed at Lincoln's Memorial in 1963, America held its breath. What if America s history had taken a different turn in 1913, and white men had put aside their racial hatred while black men had washed away their pain? Encampment: A Novel of Race and Reconciliation examines a road not taken during the July 1913 reunion of 54,000 veterans at Gettysburg a now-forgotten, week-long reunion that ended in a gesture of reconciliation between North and South. Domestic and foreign reporters kept telegraph wires humming while 100,000 civilians came each day to see for themselves: could Blue and Gray bind up the nation's wounds and make peace? They could, and they did ... for those who were white. But what if there had been a deeper healing? What might have happened if 5,000 black veterans had dared to attend? What if not just blue and gray but also black and white had battled through their hatred and regrets, laid down their hurts and found a way to heal history? Encampment follows three of these men in their autumn years. Savannah sergeant Zachariah Hampton still marches often, drinks hard, and believes blacks should stay in a place called Jim Crow. To Lucius Robinson, however, Jim Crow's place smells like the slavery he ran away from 50 years ago, and his heart and dignity are worn down to rags. Retired Vermont abolitionist Calvin Salisbury laments as the triumph of his youth is shredded by a national bigotry that leaves the sacrifices of his comrades in tatters. These three men are among the thousands at Gettysburg who could have pieced together all Americans into a quilt of common heritage. The hopefulness of this novel evokes forgiveness, redemption, reconciliation, and a re-thinking of history that informs the present"--Page 4 of cover

Generations of Faith

A Congregational Atlas

By: Carl G. Eeman

In 1991 a pair of Ivy League-educated Californians, William Strauss and Neil Howe, published a landmark book, Generations: The History of America's Future from 1584 to 2069. In Generations and subsequent books, they develop a theory that generational cycles repeat through American history at about 90- to 95-year intervals. In this book, Carl Eeman accepts the invitation of Strauss and Howe in Generations: "We encourage specialists among our readers, whatever their backgrounds, to shed more light on the component pieces of the generational puzzle" (p. 16). Eeman explores the cycle of four generational types from a faith perspective and applies generational ideas to the practice of ministry and to congregational issues. This book makes use of the young field of generational theory and provides a valuable tool for understanding between generations. As congregational leaders minister among the people of God, these concepts will help them be more effective leaders, clearer communicators, and more nimble troubleshooters and problem solvers. Foreword by William Strauss and Neil Howe.
