Barry Black: The First African-American Chaplain to U.S. Senate"What many people don't see on CSPAN2 is the level of spirituality among the lawmakers. The apostle Paul said in Philippians 4 that there are saints in Caesars' household, and I can assure you there are saints on Capitol Hill." (Washington, D.C.)—World Magazine has taken a fascinating look into the world of Barry Black, the first African American chaplain to the U.S. Senate who has been serving in that capacity for nearly seven years. "I would probably have had difficulty spelling Senate at that time," said Black. "But there I was memorizing Marshall. I believe that was God's way of placing a marker in my life so that years later I would be reminded that the fact I am now a successor to Marshall was probably His idea rather than mine." As many as 30 senators reportedly come to Black's weekly prayer breakfast. "What many people don't see on CSPAN2 is the level of spirituality among the lawmakers," said Black. The apostle Paul said in Philippians 4 that there are saints in Caesars' household, and I can assure you there are saints on Capitol Hill." According to the report, Sen. Tom Carper, a Democrat from Delaware, calls the Thursday senators-only Bible study one of the best half hours he spends each week. "Oftentimes Barry Black will remind us that we are servants," said Carper, who counts all the Republican friendships he has that are strengthened by the study. "I have a good, quick group right there to look to when working on legislation together. It helps build a sense of trust when you learn what each other thinks and what our values are."
