McCoy leaves church to become Navy Chaplain Augusta has lost one of its promising Black Baptist pastors, but the city’s loss will be the Navy’s gain. The Rev. Michael L. McCoy, 26, has received a six-year commission as a chaplain in the U 5. Navy. He will have the rank of lieutenant. McCoy, pastor of the 250-member Mt. Olive Baptist Church until he recently resigned, left Sunday for Newport, R.L for eight-weeks of training in the chaplain’s school there. From there he will go to Camp Le Jeune, N.C., to begin his service. In an interview prior to his departure, McCoy explained his decision to join the Navy. “There is a critical need for Black chaplains in the armed services as a whole. Os the 714 chaplains in the Navy, for instance, there are only 13 active Black chaplains,” he said. He said he had been “looking into (the situation) for a period of time” and concluded that he would be able to “minister to a wider group of people and represent my whole Black race in the ministry” by going into military service. McCoy will have a choice of serving three years of active duty, followed by another three in the reserves, or of serving the entire time in active duty. He admits there is always the possibility of war breaking out because the UJS. does more to prepare for war than to prevent it. “There will always be war,” he said. Does that possibility give rise to a conflict of interest for a man of the cloth? McCoy does not think so. “Our God is a God of war. I MJill 1 W _ ■ II JBb A?

When we petition God, we have loads of co-signatories. We are joined in our petitions with all of the “angels and arch-angels and all the company of heaven.” As the hymnist reminds us, “far more oe’r thee are watching than human eyes may know.” 2. Prayer is seeking. It is looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our charted life in God. It is a glimpse... no matter how fleeting... at God’s NOW OPEN The Wiley Drayton Day Care Center of The Antioch Baptist Church IS BEGINNING REGISTRATION FOR CHILDREN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 3 AND 6. OPEN THURSDAY JAN. 9, 1978 WILHELMENIA SANDERS SUPERVISOR X., -"C. . "ij; f a Rev. Michael L. McCoy see our God as one who moves in sometimes violent ways,” he said. McCoy, himself quite young, thinks young Blacks are now turning to religion. “They are looking, searching, for some kind of answers to today’s issues and problems.” Even many of those who left the church during the latter own face. It is a seeking after the road signs which lead toward the ramparts of heaven. Prayer is the seeking of our path toward the fullfillment of our life in God. 3. Prayer is knocking. It is a ringing of the bell at heaven’s door. Prayer is like a soft musical buzz in heaven’s ear to alert God’s host of helpers of our hopes, our needs and dreams. Prayer, my brothers and sisters, has, as James the Lord’s brother reminds us, “power!” Photo by Frank Bowman 60s and early 70s are returning, he believes. “I think trained ministers is the key,” he said. McCoy explained that ministers who have received formal training are able to counsel individuals better, emphasizing “the total person,” in such fields as sociology and on such The Switch Is On lo>fction News Wb give more ne*vs at noon, six, & eleven.

Olive since September 1974, is the son of the Rev. and Mrs. R.L. McCoy. He graduated from Lucy Laney, obtained a bachelor of arts degree in history at Paine College in 1973 and a master of divinity degree three years later at the Interdenomi national Theological Center in Atlanta. McCoy is married to the former Sharon Ann Rogers and has a three-year-Old daughter, Seandra Lenore. He has been active in the community, serving as president of the Martin Luther King Jr. Survival Coalition, a local Black rights organization which stresses employment for Black people. He has also been affiliated with the local chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (S.C.L.C.) To Black youth, McCoy has a message. “As Black young people we have to understand that the struggle is still a part of us. There is still much work to do. We can’t feel contented, that nobody cares, or that the white man owes us. We must go out and get these things for ourselves.” He advocates unity among Blacks to put pressure on business and government officials. “The day is over for favoring us because we are Black, but where we are qualified, give it to us,” he said. McCoy said God is with the Black race. “He is inherent in any people who are oppressed, and I think He’s part of the liberation process. We must follow His principles so we can achieve liberation.” Pierce Grove hosts 12 Tribes The 12 Tribes of Israel will be presented at the Pierce Grove Baptist Church Jan. 15 at 6 p.m. The program is sponsored by the Sh.
