Following the Centurions - Article

Following the Centurions - a brief article by Lt.Col Burt Tussing (USMC Ret), presented at the US Army War College, appears on this Officer Christian Fellowship site. http://ocf.gospelcom.net/pubs/followin.php

 

It is a good summary of the many centurions in the NT and a nice reflection on the Centurion of Capernaum.  It would make a nice approach for any of us who might be asked to talk about what the Order of Centurions is about  -- "Following the Centurions"

 

Our motto is based on this very theme of following the centurions, as Peter said of Cornelius: he fears God and does what is right and is therefore acceptable to God. He said this recognizing that Cornelius was a Gentile.
