Podcast: Shell Shocked Prophets: Chaplains and the Great War
Author and military historian Dr Linda Parker’ podcast covers Anglican chaplains, and this episode looks at how these ‘shell-shocked prophets’ faced up to their formidable challenges in ministering to and motivating their men. It then focuses upon two chaplains, Tubby Clayton of the Toc H movement and the poet activist Geoffrey Studdert Kennedy (‘Woodbine Willie’), tracing their later social engagement back to an overwhelming need to bring meaning out of the “War to end all Wars”.
