Seaman's Church Expands

Services Inward

The Seamen's Church Institute (SCI) of New York and New Jersey announced a new program to send chaplains of dif- ferent faiths to tow boats regularly run- ning cargoes up and down the Ohio and

Mississippi Rivers. SCI Associate

Executive Director Rev. Jean Smith said, "Whereas there are several reli- gious organizations sending ministers to ocean-going vessels, this is the first ministry to seafarers working on

American inland waterways. We are thrilled to bring this program into being because we feel that river mariners have much the same harsh demands as ocean mariners in hours worked, dan- gers faced, and painful absences from home and family." The program now has centers in Paducah and Louisville, Ky.;

Memphis and Nashville, Tenn.; and

Henderson, Ind. It will eventually have locations in 10 cities along the length of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. Both volunteer Site Chaplains and another nine River Chaplains will be recruited from supportive clergymen and women along the 1,000 mile stretch of river.

For the third year, SCI will be distrib- uting Christmas packages containing hand-knitted items to mariners work- ing on the inland river waterways dur- ing the holidays. The SCI Christmas on the River program hopes to place pack- ages on at least 200 vessels during

Christmas week of 1998. Christmas on the River compliments SCI's Christmas at Sea program, which annually distrib- utes over 12,000 gift packages contain- ing hand-knit scarves, gloves, and hats.
