Covenant Hymnals in Former Hussein Palace?
BAGHDAD, IRAQ (April 1, 2005) - Two Evangelical Covenant chaplains serving in
Baghdad were surprised to find a supply of denominational hymnals for
use at chapel services recently.
Chaplains Mike Gillett and Ryan Sarenpa do not how the hymnals came to
be at the chapel, but said they were glad to find them. The Camp Victory
chapel is located in an outlying building at one of Saddam Hussein's
former palaces.
The hymnals are marked "Property of U.S. Army Leighton Chapel." That
chapel is located in Wurzburg, Germany. The accompanying photo shows

March 24.
